Microsoft and GitHub are still trying to derail Copilot code copyright legal fight
Copilot and Codex were trained from tons of publicly available source code, including the plaintiffs' GitHub repositories, and other materials. When presented with a prompt by a user, these AI models will generate code snippets in response, using the materials it learned from.
In short, Copilot, it is claimed, may emit code it learned from something someone else wrote, or something close to it, without giving proper credit or following the original license. "As this court found, plaintiffs failed to allege that Copilot had ever actually generated any suggestion reproducing their code, leaving plaintiffs uninjured and therefore without standing to pursue damages," the defendant companies argued."Lacking real-life instances of harm, plaintiffs now try to manufacture some."
