      It actually did - Microsoft is an ethical company now, they’ve done a great job with GitHub for example and also more successful than they ever were in the bad old days when they terrorised the industry.

        Super ethical… Just bundling a ton of Spyware in with windows and trying to lock down your hardware into their ecosystem even though it didn’t come from them… 🙄

        Microsoft is an ethical company now

        Apart from the whole ripping off open source code to make their closed source copilot thing?

            they use github to train copilot, which sometimes reproduces code without paying attention to the license of the code it’s regurgitating.
