GitHub Copilot, with “public code” blocked, emits my copyrighted code

Slow down there with the snarky comments. I never said GPL'd code doesn't have a copyright owner.

Any code is proprietary by default. GNU GPL license lifts some restrictions, in excange of more code, but it doesnt work when license is broken. Look at cases about GPL violation.

Copiloot doesn't obey GPL license, so they need to obtain written permission and pay license fees to be able to use code in their product.

Thank you for that, though it seems you replied to the wrong comment. That doesn't have to do with what I wrote.
