Re: Is GitHub Copilot violates free software licenses?

[Danny Spitzberg]

   I guess this exposes just how difficult (almost impossible) it is to
   send the GPL police after a company worth billions of dollars.

        Hi all,
        GitHub recently released a service called Github Copilot
        ([1][2]https://copilot.github.com/) that suggests code lines and
     functions
        to programmers.
        This has been trained on publicly available code.
        I think any code that copilot generates  could be violating many
     free
        software licenses, as it derived code from free software
     projects.
        There are discussions about this in
        twitter:
