    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.

      Microsoft is an ethical company now

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