1) Write a project heavily using Copilot (hell, automate it and write thousands of them, why not?)
2) AGPL all that code.
3) Search for large chunks of code very similar to yours, but written after yours, licensed more liberally than AGPL. Ideally in libraries used by major companies.
4) Point the offenders to your repos and offer a "convenient" paid dual-license to make the offenders' code legal for closed-source use, so they don't have to open source their entire product.
