    These things cost money to run, so how are they offering it for free? Who’s paying for it? How do they profit from our using it? What’s the catch?

    Edit: Someone else here found that the license basically means all the code you write with it becomes theirs. Seems like we found the catch.

      Bahaha if this is true, then this tool is basically pathetic as it’s almost completely useless.

        I’m using GitHub Copilot and haven’t dug into the license. It’s possible I’m technically handing all my code over to Microsoft.

          You mean our code?

          It’s all just the same shit copy pasted from StackOverflow from 1998 😂
