If you have access to the Copilot weights, you should consider leaking them. We shared our code with you because we wanted it to be free, not sold back to us at $10/month.


Fwiw, I've never paid for Copilot. I was automatically given free access for open source contributions. My largest public repo had maybe 100 stars. I've made minor commits to larger repos.

I don't know what the threshold is, but I'm fine with the trade-off I received.


Then you should be happy to know that there are multiple open source coding weights out there already! Some of which are as good as, or possibly better than co-pilot.

That should satisfy anyone who actually cares about this as opposed to only being interest in making a snappy gotcha one liners.


... because GPU-hours are worthless?


So if a developer uses “free code” in their software, must they only do it for free?


That depends on the original license.
