So you will train on data collected from free users working on GPL and copyrighted projects?

And on users that don’t even use github, other than the required account to use CoPilot in Visual Studio.

This affects anyone using VS Code or Copilot with proprietary data, including all the users automating workflows through the Copilot SDK and the like. A perfect storm.

Did anyone from GitHub's legal team actually authorise this, or did they use Copilot to sign off on it?
