Why would they do that, regardless of whether the output could be restricted via Copyright or not? Also, this case isn't about copyright, as the lawyer clearly explains.

I was more talking about the general morality issue than the specifics of the case.

Why wouldn't they? They are both large important codebases which they can do whatever they like with. If they are confident that Copilot does is akin to learning or at least something transformative then it makes perfect sense.
