I am concerned about GitHub's Copilot project

I urge you to read about the Give up GitHub campaign from the Software Freedom Conservancy.

While I do not advocate for all the issues listed there I do not like that a company like Microsoft may profit from open source projects.

I continue to use GitHub because it offers the services I need for free. But, I continue to monitor their terms of service.

Any use of this project's code by GitHub Copilot, past or present, is done without my permission. I do not consent to GitHub's use of this project's code in Copilot.

A repository owner may opt out of Copilot by changing Settings --> GitHub Copilot.

I have done so. I have done so.
