I think the bigger reason it is banned at most companies is because it's nearly impossible to know what kind of license the generated code is available under. Copilot is trained on open source codebases, which carry a number of different licensing agreements to use that code in your own codebase. Companies simply do not want to deal with using software that opens them up to unknown legal risks.
- gardenhedge 4y agoHow would it ever be tracked? Is there something that can detect Copilot generated code?

- boundless88 4y agoActually, no need to detect the Copilot code. Just compare the code itself, there are a bunch of tools that can do this.
