Background & analysis
GitHub Copilot Enterprise launched in July 2024 with a revised policy on the data used to train its AI models. Where the training data previously focused on public code, the service now draws on both public code and private code used with the owner's consent. That shift drew concern from developers around code ownership, privacy, and the possibility of code being used without permission. GitHub states that it honors open source licenses, but the consent mechanism has been described as not sufficiently transparent. As of the latest report, the dispute centers on the training data licensing change, and no material is available on how it has been resolved.
