With Copilot, is Microsoft/GitHub taking too many liberties with the open source software that has been entrusted in their repositories?

The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery. Developers can learn about containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud computing, as well as explore topics such as microservices architecture, serverless computing, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

The New Stack

GitHub’s recently commercialized offering of Copilot, which delivers AI-powered code composition/auto-completion, was built upon the sourcing of code from the millions of open source projects hosted in GitHub. The Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) joined Free Software Foundation in a recommendation to cut ties with GitHub over the creation of GitHub Copilot.

GitHub Copilot and Open Source: A Love Story That Won’t End Well?

Even open source licenses have certain limits or caveats. If I use open source code, I will give credit to the source. Microsoft does not do this. They have even gone so far as to freeze some open source repos and revert changes to the code on Github because they didn’t agree with changes made to the code by the author. This happened to the original author of FakerJS code. These actions by Microsoft are hostile to the entire concept of open source.

This feels like gatekeeping. I got into open source because I want to empower other developers and lower the barrier to entry and I see Copilot as a tool that enables this.
What is the difference between GitHub Copilot borrowing functionality from elsewhere and an engineer having to figure out how to build what they are trying to build?
It just allows a lot more people who might not have the skills of the other engineers to build things, improving the world we live in.
We may as well kill off blogs, documentation, Stack Overflow and YouTube because they’re all providing the same thing when it comes down to it.

That really made me angry, I think we can say for real that Microsoft are a bunch of thieves (sorry for the honest workers there). That’s … argh I don’t even have the words.
