if you're worried about copilot: isn't the problem is that copyright law (apparently) allows them to do it?

if you move everything to gitlab/self-hosted there's nothing stopping them spending 5 minutes querying the bing index and feeding it every repo they find

Well, they're asserting copyright law allows them to do it. It's not clear how well that would hold up in court against a well-funded lawsuit -- but that would require someone whose code got regurgitated substantially intact by Copilot, who also had the resources to manage the suit.

Copying off Github and copying off another host is not quite the same. I explained it twice on this thread already. So I'm leaving a link here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31937705
