@paco GH copilot is already breaking the GPL by using GPL'd code in its sources which is then fed to the user, but never contributes those chamges upstream. Iirc the SCFS is considering a lawsuit because of that. We need no new licenses, we need to limit the extent tech companies can grow to and disband/nationalize them otherwise. While at it, limit deep learning / "ai" for useful purposes such as DeepL or breast cancer detection. 1/2
@paco 2/2 I grew up thinking the silicon valley was a pinnacle of innovation, but it's all a scam. I haven't seen any real innovation the last ten years, it just seems a race into a cyperpunk dystopia. Few indie/free software oriented companies like Purism or Fairphone being the exception.
@kellogh a class action lawsuit has been filed: https://sfconservancy.org/news/2022/nov/04/class-action-lawsuit-filing-copilot/
And reading this FSF article the key here seems to be fair use: https://www.fsf.org/licensing/copilot/if-software-is-my-copilot-who-programmed-my-software IANAL either, maybe @neil can shed some light ? To me this looks clear violation of the GPL
