Two platforms.
Same questions.
Distro
WORKFLOW & AUTOMATION
PROMPT
Customer retains all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data, which encompasses inputs submitted to the Platform. Distro is explicitly prohibited from reselling or enabling direct third-party use of Customer Data without express written consent. However, Customer Data may be accessed by Distro during the Order Term to provide the Platform and Services, and both during and after the Order Term to create aggregated, anonymized, and de-identified Aggregate Data for Platform improvement and AI Tool training. Ownership of prompts as raw Customer Data remains with Customer; downstream anonymized derivatives are not addressed as Customer property.
OUTPUT
The terms do not contain an explicit, dedicated citation addressing ownership of AI-generated outputs. Distro retains all right, title, and interest in the Distro Technology, including enhancements, improvements, and derivatives. Outputs are not expressly carved out as Customer property, nor are they expressly assigned to Distro in a standalone clause. Notably, Distro is authorized to use Inputs, Outputs, and related metadata on an aggregated, anonymized, and de-identified basis to train or improve AI Tools, suggesting Distro treats outputs as usable platform data. Output ownership as a discrete topic is not directly addressed in the provided citations.
TRAINING
Distro explicitly reserves the right to use Inputs, Outputs, and related metadata — on an aggregated, anonymized, and de-identified basis — to train or improve AI Tools. Additionally, Customer expressly authorizes Distro to use Customer Data both during and after the Order Term to create Aggregate Data for Platform improvement, including AI Tool training. A limiting protection exists: Distro shall not use or enable use of Customer Data to train any AI Tool for any other customer or third party (i.e., cross-customer raw data training is prohibited). Training use is therefore permitted but scoped to anonymized/aggregated forms and Distro's own platform improvement purposes.
COMMERCIAL
Customers are prohibited from a broad range of commercial misuse of Distro Technology, including sublicensing, reselling, competitive benchmarking, building competing products, reverse engineering, scraping, and creating derivative works. Distro is correspondingly prohibited from reselling or enabling direct third-party use of Customer Data without express written consent. The Distro Technology is classified as developed entirely at private expense and provided as commercial computer software. No citations address Customer's right to commercialize outputs derived from the Platform.

GitHub Copilot
DEVELOPER / CODING
PROMPT
GitHub does not claim ownership over code inputs. Code submitted to Copilot remains the user's property.
OUTPUT
GitHub does not assert ownership over code suggestions. Users are responsible for determining the IP status of generated code.
TRAINING
GitHub Privacy Statement confirms: 'Product Development and Improvement: We use Personal Data to develop and improve our products, services, and technologies, including artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. This includes improving features, developing new offerings, enhancing safety and security capabilities, and training models. We apply appropriate technical safeguards, including aggregation and de-identification techniques where feasible.' Affiliates including Microsoft may also receive data for 'product development and improvement (including training and improving artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies).' Individual tier: code snippets and telemetry may be used for training (opt-out in IDE settings). Business/Enterprise: training on user code is off by default, no data retention beyond session.
COMMERCIAL
Commercial use is the primary intended use case, particularly for Copilot for Business and Enterprise plans.
