The judge however said that assuming the facts of the complaint are true, it's reasonable to "infer that, should plaintiffs’ code be reproduced as output, it will be reproduced in a manner that violates the open-source licenses under which plaintiffs published their code." With regard to the plaintiffs' assertion that Codex and Copilot violate their property rights, the defendant companies argued that the claim should be dismissed because the plaintiffs didn't identify specific code of theirs that had been reproduced. But he found them plausible enough to consider an amended complaint that provides more clarity about the supposed injury arising from Copilot and Codex. Should plaintiffs’ code be reproduced as output, it will be reproduced in a manner that violates the open-source licensesĮssentially, the related claims made by the defendants lack the detail required by law to proceed. Tigar also dismissed – though with leave to amend – the plaintiffs' claims for violating Section 1202(a) of Digital Millennium Copyright Act (false copyright information), contract interference, fraud, false designation of origin, unjust enrichment, unfair competition, breach of the GitHub Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, violation of the California Consumer Privacy Act, and negligence. He did so with prejudice, meaning those charges cannot be amended and refiled. Tigar dismissed the civil conspiracy allegations against the companies, as well as the unidentified plaintiffs' demand for declaratory relief – essentially a judicial declaration of the plaintiffs' rights. The ruling found other aspects of the complaint less compelling. ![]()
