Copilot can’t run without the weights of the neural net and those weights cannot exist without the data. Is the model part of the “executable code” of Copilot? There are reasons why the answer could be yes, in which case Copilot would be GPL...
— Mark O. Riedl (@mark_riedl) June 30, 2021
Neural weights are not code themselves and do not resemble the surface form of any GPL code. GPL covers the possibility of "non-source conveyance". This would apply if neural weights are deemed a form of "object code". There are reasons to reject this line of argument, tho.

Started putting in wrong code on purpose.
copyright does not only cover copying and pasting; it covers derivative works. github copilot was trained on open source code and the sum total of everything it knows was drawn from that code. there is no possible interpretation of "derivative" that does not include this

Free Software advocates believed the GPL would end companies making money from proprietary software. Instead it simply enabled new types of proprietary software companies like Google & Amazon. Github Copilot is continuing that tradition.

Hi. I know you’re excited about copilot.
— Brian P. Hogan (@bphogan) July 2, 2021
GitHub scraped your code. And they plan to charge you for copilot after you help train it further.
It’s truly disappointing to watch people cheer at having their work and time exploited by a company worth billions.
github copilot has, by their own admission, been trained on mountains of gpl code, so i'm unclear on how it's not a form of laundering open source code into commercial works. the handwave of "it usually doesn't reproduce exact chunks" is not very satisfying pic.twitter.com/IzqtK2kGGo

Some thoughts about Github Copilot and copyright (I am not a lawyer).
— Mark O. Riedl (@mark_riedl) June 30, 2021
Copilot uses a version of GPT3 trained on GPL licensed code. GPL give everyone the right to copy and make derivatives. Derivatives inherit GPL.

i'm really tired of the tech industry treating neural networks like magic black boxes that spit out something completely novel, and taking free software for granted while paying out $150k salaries for writing ad delivery systems. the two have finally fused and it sucks

“I’m leaving GitHub because copilot uses my OpenSource code for training” is such an odd move. Anyone can fork it to there and GitHub can feed OpenSource code from anywhere to it and US copyright law permits this. I’m also pretty certain we should not strengthen copyright laws …

Open Source means everyone can see, share, and use your code even if you disagree with them.

This article https://t.co/nUXhDQa4zp is very well written and has strong arguments for why this is all technically legal. For me? This isn’t about being technically legal. I feel the same about Amazon ripping off open source projects. MS and GitHub are no better.

EUの専門家による解釈: 「Copilotが生成するコードは派生物ではなく、GitHub (Microsoft) がGPLなコードを訓練データとして使用してもライセンス違反にはならない」

もしCopilotの出力が派生物だとすると、AIが生成したデータはみんな著作物という扱いになってしまう。https://t.co/1Sqg7gkx6U
Fascinating read on the topic of GitHub Copilot and copyrights. This point seems crucial yet discutable in the current implementation: “The short code snippets that Copilot reproduces from training data are unlikely to reach the threshold of originality”. https://t.co/Uo4riNSkj5
