There is no doubt they trained Copilot on OpenBSD code, it has a git
mirror on Github, why wouldn't they train their AI models on it?
I am pretty sure there is still a planned lawsuit against them for
infringement of GPL code, as they trained the AI model on open source
projects without considering the licence, and they knew this because if
you checked the disclaimer on Copilot, it stated there is a chance that
code could simply be copied by Copilot, although they reassured this was
rare.
The most recent mention I could find on this was:
https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/12/github_microsoft_openai_copilot/
But I am not sure how accurate this is.
But, Microsoft do have a leg to stand on here, as part of the agreement
you make when you push code to Github, you give them a certain portions
of your rights, such as being able to read and store said code,
regardless of the rights you reserve. But then again this does not give
them the right to train proprietary models off said code and then sell
for a subscription fee of $10/month, what a joke!
Take care,
