Description:
Developer reports that most (but not all) of the claims in the GitHub Copilot lawsuit have
been dismissed with prejudice by the judge. Judge Jon Tigar's ruling,
unsealed last week, leaves only two
claims standing: one accusing the companies of an open-source
license violation and another alleging breach of contract. This
decision marks a substantial setback for the developers who argued
that GitHub Copilot, which uses OpenAI's technology and is owned by
Microsoft, unlawfully trained on their work.
