Until there is a definitive adjudication of the copyright status of LLM training data, it is *deeply irresponsible* to use Github Copilot for open source. I will refuse contributions created with it on any project I'm involved with, as well as permanently ban any user caught sneaking in Copilot-generated code in defiance of this rule. I would strongly encourage all maintainers to take this stand as well. License headaches are already bad enough without secret poison pills being injected.
@glyph Thank you for taking the correct moral stand. While as far as I know, virtually zero people use my open source projects, I will implement a similar policy.
@glyph I want to see the fall out of it from the closed source world as well, What happens when half your game is pieces of copilot code?!
@glyph Makes sense. Our lawyers told us to stay away from LLM generated code as well.
