I wonder if anyone is considering adding a clause to their open source license stating that it can't be used to train ai language models.

Wouldn't be mich better to state any AI derived code from this will automatically be Open Source?

The problem is that many open source licenses are mutually incompatible— e.g. Affero GPL vs BSD vs GPLv3. So you’d need per-snippet code licensing.

Which seems like a solvable, albeit terribly painful, problem?

If this is the direction that things end up going, honestly this will ultimately only be massively in the favor of OpenAI (and a small # of very well-funded competitors), as it will create a very, very painful barrier to entry.

I could do that, then I would also create several github accounts and reuse my licensed code to be picked up by copilot. I could then sue microsoft for using my code >:)
