The #githubcopilot litigation will proceed, with some dismissed claims.

The judge found a "reasonable inference" that Github "intentionally designed the programs to remove Copyright management Information" (CMI).

"Defendants subsequently trained these programs to ignore or remove CMI and therefore stop reproducing it. Id. (“As GitHub explains: ‘GitHub Copilot has changed to require a minimum file content.’ . . . Copilot no longer reproduces these types of CMI . . . . It has been altered not to.”) (emphasis in original). Defendants knew that these programs reproduced training data as output.. Plaintiffs thus plead sufficient facts to support a reasonable inference that Defendants intentionally designed the programs to remove CMI from any licensed code they reproduce as output"
