Re:Copilot regurgitating Quake code, including sweary comments by samtheprogram on Friday July 02, 2021 @02:35PM (#27715092)
Anything posted to Stack Overflow has a specific (Creative Commons IIRC) license associated with it. The same is not true of GitHub Copilot, and in fact their FAQ doesn’t specify a license at all, probably because they are technically unable to since it is trained on a wide variety of code from differing licenses (and code not written by a human is currently a grey area for copyright). The FAQ simply says to use it at your own risk.
