Gregory's Server@fsf What is the FSF's stance on Copilot? It is a proprietary SaaS tool and so it is unethical but is there anything the FSF is particularly worried about with it?

@oklomsy Well, there are a few things, but the main issue is that it copies free software code without developers knowing where it is coming from and what license that code was under. I recommend reading RMS's recent "State of the free software movement" talk, which mentions Copilot (he calls it copy-a-lot): https://libreplanet.org/wiki/LibrePlanet:Conference/2022/Transcripts/RMS-state-of-free-software (timestamp of [0:38:24]) #Copilot
