Hi, thanks for answering! The problem with giving companies one's real e-mail address is that they often sell it to advertisers. I've read your privacy policy, but it's still not clear to me whether you're allowed to do that (there are some phrases suggesting yes and some suggesting no).
What is the binary needed for? Why can't it be distributed as a part of the repository?
I don't use Copilot, so I can't compare it in this way.
We explicitly state in our privacy policy that we don't sell user data to third parties.
The language server is the common binary cross ides that actually processes local / repo context and communicates with the cloud service to generate completions. For now, that is closed source, similar to other tools like Tabnine and Copilot, but we may change that in the future.

Doesn't this imply that the third-party marketing partners get the user's e-mail address?
What's the reason behind the language server being closed-source? Do you have something to hide?
