Have you been wondering what to do next as #Microsoft's
#GitHub
continues to ramp up their proprietary #CoPilot — ignoring the software rights implications of it? Join our public discussion; minutes from the Committee's meeting are posted for your review: https://lists.copyleft.org/pipermail/ai-assist/2022-May/000003.html
Lots of understandable concern today as #Microsoft #GitHub announced their new #Copilot availability today. Probably worth a reminder that @conservancy has convened a working group on #ethics, #licensing, and other related issues, especially for #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource contributors.
Perhaps you or others may want to join or read more?
Boosts welcome!
