You want to defend the big company? Why? Copilot is obviously breaking terms of licenses. At the very least it should only be trained on MIT and return MIT code

It does not seem at all obvious to me why training an AI on public code examples should break any license terms.

The "public code examples" have specific licenses that aren't being met.
