There'd be no way for Copilot to know that had happened? What? YT uses Content ID. GH could set up a similar program for OSS.

What a nightmare.

I'd say that constant code copying is massively pervasive, with no regard to licensing, always has been, and that's not really a bad thing, and attempts to stop it are going to be far more harmful than helpful.
