GitHub Copilot may steer Microsoft into a copyright lawsuit

It seems reasonable that if a tool is emitting non-trivial code fragments originating from licensed code that emission should comply with the origin code license. Whether or not there is an 'AI' in between seems irrelevant.

From most articles I&#x27;ve read on this topic, I haven&#x27;t been sympathetic to the claims that GitHub Copilot violates copyright. After all, human intelligence learns by reading books and reviewing code and then producing novel code. The results are <i>influenced</i> by what the human inteligence has seen, and there&#x27;s nothing wrong with that - all of the world&#x27;s knowledge builds from prior knowledge. Trying to lock all of that away via copyright claims is not the intention of copyright law. Copyright law applies to explicit <i>copying</i>.<p>But a recent article showed some specific examples where a 15-line code chunk was clearly copied and pasted from someone&#x27;s github code, with a couple variables renamed and identical comments but with &#x27;&#x2F;&#x2F;&#x27; instead of &#x27;&#x2F;* ... *&#x2F;&#x27;. If this were homework, it would be reported as copied.<p>So I suspect there&#x27;s not as much &quot;intelligence&quot; in this system as advertised.

Regardless of Copilot, everyone should inform themselves on what is and isn’t covered by copyright.<p>You can copy and paste verbatim anything that is utilitarian in nature. This includes basically all optimized algorithms, implementations of mathematical algorithms, boilerplate.<p>It does not include class structures, code organization, comments, or any other “arbitrary” aspects of code.<p>Rule of thumb: Useful? Not copyright. Useless? Copyright.

How long until half the subjects in an IT degree are provided by the faculty of law?
