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.
