General Public Quote.
Of the 41 main cases we singled out during manual labelling, none appear in less than 10 different files. Most (35 cases) appear over a hundred times. Once, GitHub Copilot suggested starting an empty file with something it had even seen more than a whopping 700,000 different times during training -- that was the GNU General Public License.

LEGOne.
Development was notoriously tumultuous, largely due to toxic management "politics". Ultimately, LEGO decided to rescind the licensing rights from Mindscape after LEGO Island and Mindscape fired the entire team the day before release to dodge paying bonuses that were promised based on the game's success.

Indem wir das Gendersternchen bewusst und aus eigener Entscheidung verwenden, zeigen wir der betroffenen Gruppe wenigstens, dass wir sie wahrnehmen wollen.
