Straw man. That isn't what Github/Copilot is doing.
If open source communities are worried about having their source code copied... then don't open the source. Keep it closed, keep it off GitHub... I mean the genie is already out of the bottle, so doesn't really matter what they do now.
You can't prompt Copilot with things like: # Function that detects spam accurately
And get anything useful/sensitive/competitive
Is there really super sensitive algorithms out there that Copilot is exposing that are otherwise unknown?
