Restaurant owners also didn't care about renumerating composers of the melodies they were playing. Then copyright laws happened.
I mean even doing that will not protect anybody's code, Microsoft doesn't care, they might also be scanning gitlab or bitbucket and doing model training on these. The only way to protect your code at that point is to stay closed source. It's as simple as that.
It's no different from all these models trained on content without permission, whether it be articles or photos,... until all these corporations are sued or copyright laws change to adapt ML, they'll train their model on content regardless of the its license since they are getting away with it.
