The Software Freedom Conservancy is ending all use of GitHub and announcing a long-term plan to assist open-source projects to migrate away from GitHub -- because of Copilot. "While the Software Freedom Conservancy's beef with GitHub predates Copilot by some margin, it seems that GitHub's latest launch is the final straw. The crux of the issue, and a bone of contention in the software development sphere since its debut last year, is that Copilot is a proprietary service built on top of the hard work of the open source community."
Copilot 'borrows' code from one project and suggests it to the author of another project (not exactly but that's how the TechCrunch author summarizes it) without fulfilling attribution requirements of the license from which the code came. Copilot charges $10/month so it is a commercial product.
