I hate to have to bring this up, but please don't advertise source available software as being open source. You have a cool product and making the source available is a good thing, you don't need to lie about the extent to which you're opening it up.

It seems easiest to just take "open source" out of the title above - the post is fine without that bit, and it will reduce distractions - so I've done that now. Thanks!

Disagree with what?

I made my point in my comment, things are not just one meaning. Emojis do not just have one meaning. Words do not have one meaning (most of the time). Nobody would equate a watermelon for open source copilot for code analysis as being anti-Palestine or pro-Palestine or anti-Israel or pro-Israel. I don't understand why it was even brought up.

You've made your points, sure. But by doing so, you're also implicitly attributing the opposite of your opinion to me, which is not fair.

How could you even know what other people would equate with what?

Has a watermelon a special meaning there? Can you elaborate?

https://time.com/6326312/watermelon-palestinian-symbol-solid... appears to have the answer. But I will say I completely disagree, nobody owns a symbol and I don't think it's acceptable to allocate emojis to specific events.

to round out the story of the symbology, the other flags/placards being waved in that photo are "sabra" cactuses, prickly pears, available in green and red with a sweet fruit. "Sabra" is a common Israeli self-epithet, to mean something like "we are like sabras, prickly on the outside, sweet on the inside"; so those protesters are sending a "unity" sort of message by waving both.

Perhaps the watermelon is not the best choice of symbol, given the current situation in the middle east?

The first thought that came to mind for me was how in some Chinese internet culture, eating watermelon represents watching an event for entertainment without much investment even to the detriment of others. Apparently it’s being used for solidarity with Palestine though.

I wonder how many of these products are going to slurp up proprietary information from unwitting code teams before it's over. Granted, if your team/org isn't smart enough to consider that, maybe there's not really much there of value anyway.

Looks like it is for open source only anyway.

Plus many things have the opportunity to slurp up your code: package managers, build tools, linters, Github (well...) etc.
