To be honest, can't humans go through various open source repositories and copy the bits they like?

If you don't like that,don't release your code as open source. I'm not going to host my open source projects on my own website. That's just hard, it's much more difficult to get people to check it out if it's on Broblog.net

I personally don't believe extremely short code snippets, like the ones copilot tends to copy are problematic.

This is the same fallacy behind the argument that we shouldn't care about privacy, because it's always been possible to track and surveil individuals.

Do you want to write open source software or not?

Here.

def add( x, y): return x + y

I don't want to live in some dystopia where we have dozens of lawyers deciding who owns that above code snippet. If Amazon wants to use that snippet, fine, you can use it, etc.

All Co Pilot does is optimize taking code snippets from different sources.

I have no idea what point you are trying to make.
