9 bucks per developer isn’t that much. I getting a developer to be 5 percent faster is a huge gain for just 9 dollars.
Certainly for SV salaries. But $19/month per developer in addition to already existing cost can make a difference for regions with lower salaries.

If you want to make a conversation awkward, ask your account team about the indemnification for the AI’s potential copyright violations.

The word “patent” is missing and $500k is nothing. And how are you going to prove that you didn’t modify whatever was suggested by the AI?

You make it sound like Copilot is just copy-pasting something from a single repo. The code Copilot generates for me is extremely specific to my application. It understands the context, my code style and what I'm trying to do. The result looks like my own code and is utilizing the already existing parts of my application. The code it writes for me solves problems that you cannot find a standard solution for anywhere a…
> You make it sound like Copilot is just copy-pasting something from a single repo. Not at all. I'm saying it's derived from large amounts of code, without respecting the licenses on that code. > How Copilot is trained is an issue but answering the question "where did this code come from and what license is it under" would be impossible. Then it shouldn't exist outside of demos of what could exist in the future if th…
What's the benefit of using copilot over a package manager? Both help you reuse code that's already been written, but using packages gives you updates, explicit dependency tracking, documentation, etc.
Sadly, "simple license management" here just refers to "who in your organization has a license to use this tool", rather than "where did this code come from and what license is it under". This tool remains the equivalent of money laundering for violation of Open Source licenses (or software licenses in general).
I open source my code specifically so that it can be re-used, ideally even for cases like this. To me, software freedom is the ability for it to be used for effectively any useful purpose, so that others don't have to do the same work again. I understand that some folks don't believe the same thing, and use copyleft licenses so that their code can't be re-used in a closed way, and that's fair. Github shouldn't be tra…
If you do, then by all means they're welcome to use it without attribution or preservation of copyright notices, per the terms of the license you used.
But for all the Open Source code, even permissive Open Source code, that does require attribution or preservation of copyright notices, that's still a license violation. People don't often think of permissive Open Source licenses as something that can be violated, but they absolutely can be.

haha we'll have it out polished in the next week or so :P
That plus lisp / clojure on the roadmap is exciting :) I'll definitely give it a try when it comes out. The thing that slows me down is that I actually don't like to get visual feedback while I'm typing. I'm curious if codeium has a good way to compromise there
