Are the completions legally owned by you the user? Or are they provided under license?



The license only refers to the software, for what I understand, and doesn't say anything about the outputs. The completion runs on your machine unless you explicitly set up a cloud account. They explicitly explain how you can make sure your code never reaches their servers if you don't want it to. Even if they suddenly claimed IP on your code, I really don't see how that could be held up in court.


An issue could be if it spit out someone else's code character for character as a completion.


I presume the code used for training has been selected among code released with specific licences. Otherwise it would be a copyright violation anyway.
