see when I saw the words 'risk assessment' i figured the presuppositional framework of the authors argument wasnt that copilot was legally sound. In other words, i didnt expect to jump straight to the technical validity of the product.

do not ignore the elephant in the room. copilot is stealing code from projects with open licenses.

I would expect an information security expert to comment on the risks they have a professional background in assessing. More broadly, your comment almost seems to suggest that one should preclude all avenues of criticism beyond whichever singular issue is most "obvious" / "problematic". That strikes me as less than optimal.
