Amazon CodeWhisperer and Microsoft Github Copilot:
summary:
. AI is being used for CASE
(computer-assisted software engineering).
. it is being trained on opensource code
and then applies techniques used by that code
to the specific needs of your code.
. the resulting code is free of any licensing agreements
because is considered fair use
unless the software ideas are protected by patents
rather than merely copyright or copyleft.
. Amazon CodeWhisperer may be able to tell you
the license of the project its ideas were lifted from,
but Microsoft Github Copilot claims all its code
is sourced from and licensed by an AI,
not from the projects that the AI studied.
