   > Companies were paying for more than 30 million Copilot subscriptions as of the end of June. And while individual users are free to use limited versions of Copilot’s chat experience, its most powerful tools are reserved for subscribers to the company’s M365 apps bundle, which has about 90 million paying users.

   It needs to be more widely known that if you cancel a (home) 365 subscription, you'll be offered a cheaper version without AI integration.

      Now if I could just get them to start paying me cash for training their AI on my open source code and selling it rather than being force fed a Copilot grant.

         There's no 'open source, but closed to training' software license?

            How would you possibly enforce that?

               Legally? How else would you enforce it?

                  Like copyright on training input? Fair use has done a lot heavier of a lift on that than it would every have to do on opensource, license prohibiting it or not.
