this is not true, smh. See Oracle vs. Google.

Oracle v. Google involved actual Java (declarations) code being copied; that it was a derived work wasn't seriously disputed there.

CoPilot will return actual GPL code verbatim.

Yes, and that's why I personally believe that the model itself should be considered a derived work of such code. But OP was specifically talking about "code patterns".

Copying the code verbatim would fall under copying the code pattern. You talking about changing the name of the variables or something?
