 Judge dismisses majority of GitHub Copilot copyright claims (Developer)

Developer https://www.developer-tech.com/news/judge-dismisses-majority-github-copilot-copyright-claims/

that most (but not all) of the claims in the GitHub Copilot lawsuit have
been dismissed with prejudice by the judge.


	Judge Jon Tigar's ruling, unsealed last week, leaves only two
	claims standing: one accusing the companies of an open-source
	license violation and another alleging breach of contract. This
	decision marks a substantial setback for the developers who argued
	that GitHub Copilot, which uses OpenAI's technology and is owned by
	Microsoft, unlawfully trained on their work.
