A built-in code editor has just appeared in the Bing search engine, with search and code execution (currently only works if you set the United States - English region in your account settings). The tool is positioned as a "new way to learn programming languages and play with the code." It is possible to even compare how the same solution looks in different languages.
Some Open Source activists say that this tool should be used with caution. Why? The answer is explicitly stated in the Microsoft Services Agreement , clause 2b.
To the extent necessary to provide the Services to you and others, to protect you and the Services, and to improve Microsoft products and services, you provide Microsoft with a worldwide free license to use the intellectual property associated with your content , such as copying, storing, transferring , reformatting, displaying and distributing your content in the Services using communication tools.
It would seem banal and standard for Microsoft clause of the agreement, but in this case it is important to recall it, because Microsoft receives a license for nothing else than the program code. ')
In addition to the methods listed in the agreement, Microsoft has the right to use your code for other (any) purposes. For example, for training a neural network to improve search results.
But most importantly, absolutely everything is the same in the Rosetta Code editor, under the free GNU FDL license (the GPL documentation supplement).
