Richard Stallman would agree, but there are many of us who make a living writing software.
Is software valuable enough that people will pay money for it?
If you write original software that solves a problem, shouldn't you be able to license it how you want and profit from it?
You are welcome to license the software you create how you want. Let me license the software I create how I want.
If I dual license my software as GPL and commercial and GitHub Copilot reproduces my GPLed code without attribution and without the license, how it that not copyright violation?
My favorite part:
>Copyright Now
>Now with digital data and computer networks, it much easier for us to copy and manipulate information
> Digital technology has changed the effect of copyright law
> Copyright used to be a power that was:
> wielded by authors
> over publishers
> to yield benefits to the public
> Now it’s a power that is:
> wielded by publishers
> to punish the public
> in the name of the authors
> Now the public wants to copy and share — what would a democratic government do?
