Thoughts? I think copilot violates most FOSS licenses (including GPL-3.0-or-later), but what do you guys think?
-
@bobismymanager wrong category
-
@ali00035 Incorrect
-
but to the topic, basically this is just a microsoft moment
-
its not if you gave them the rights to do it lol if youre scared of some company having your code then host a gitlab instance yourself
-
@aftery The problem is that they might use the fact you agreed to github tos to bypass software licenses
-
and that's a problem because they might do something that you... allowed them to in the first place (albeit limited)?
-
@aftery ik, but lets get real, most people dont read the tos. So i think doing that is sneaky, and thats why i gave up github.
-
so you stopped using it because you didnt read the tos
fair enough
e: had to elaborate that while github does do some questionable shit its not like theres any big corpos that wont do that
-
-
@aftery honestly, yes, big corpos can't be trusted

indeed it is, i, most of the time, dont read the tos of apps, platforms, etc, because i thought it wasn't needed at all, but one time, i almost fucked up by not reading the tos (im not going to tell what happened)

i see your point, so you say that ms knows that people dont read the tos most of the time and that ms uses it to violate most foss licenses
-
@ali00035 Yes. Also I remember that cdprojectred (the people who made cyberpunk77) got sued because they put the epelepcy warning in the tos and they lost because the judge agreed that no one reads the tos.
-
-
so they got sued because someone got an epilepsy seizure despite the game having a warning about it in the tos? and that they lost because of the fact that no one reads the tos?
imo that warning shouldn't be in the tos but in the main menu or the opening screen.
-
@ali00035 yep. But my point is that even the judges say so that no one reads it. Plus, if someone made something and licensed it as GPL-3.0-only then sent it to me via email, I could then put it on github and they would use it bypassing the license, even though I had no right to grant them an exception to the license because I didn't make the software.
-
they lost because the judge agreed that no one reads the tos.
because the lawsuit doesnt exist to begin with id assume lol i dont think you understand laws

-
@aftery i dont think that you understood what he said
