GitHub Copilot Investigation

• How it started: Copilot
  • GitHub Copilot, with "public code" blocked, emits my copyrighted code

@github copilot, with "public code" blocked, emits large chunks of my copyrighted code, with no attribution, no LGPL license. For example, the simple prompt "sparse matrix transpose, cs_" produces my cs_transpose in CSparse. My code on left, github on right. Not OK. pic.twitter.com/sqpOThi8nf
