Microsoft sued for open-source piracy through GitHub Copilot

GitHub was stagnant before and GitLab had basically overtaken it. Since the acquisition they have massively picked up the pace and delivered several exceptionally good features.

GitLab is still a very viable alternative but there is just very little reason to want to leave GitHub. The vast majority of devs either don’t care about or enjoy copilot. It’s just a small number of HN whiners who make most of the noise on the topic.

I think Copilot is very in sync with GPLs Idea of Copyleft and learning form code. Alle projects using Copilot should therefore also be GPL or AGPL

It isn't compliant with GPL's attribution requirements. If it were made so, then yeah, I'd agree – with the caveat that it'd also have to be MIT, BSD, Apache etc. compliant.
