             Summary: Can projects accept code written by GitHub Copilot?
                 Key: LEGAL-580
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-580
             Project: Legal Discuss
          Issue Type: Question
            Reporter: Mike Drob


Github Copilot is the hot new AI-writing-code system.

 

If we are presented with patches that have been "copiloted" are we safe to accept them? Or do we have to assume that they may be tainted by other license terms that are not apparent?

 

Further, how do we know if something was created with the help of copilot? Do we need to add a checklist to the PR template where in addition to the contributor asserting that they have the right to contribute this code, they also affirm that it was not created by copilot?
