Please copy my code. Reality is I'll be gone in 100 years tops and I'd be more than glad if my crappy code actually helps someone.
As for attribution, we all learn by looking at code from all kinds of licenses. Between Stack Overflow, projects hosted in GitHub, libraries that sit on our vendor directories and even closed source projects there's a lot that is carried over to new projects without attribution.
We're heading to a world were most projects are basically libraries glued together anyway. Standing on the shoulders of giants and all that.
The dream of an omniscient pair programming buddy is slowly coming to fruition and I for one welcome.
Copilot is just a tool, fancy search engine for the code that's available online. Projects should be judged by the way they use Copilot just like I'm judged if I misuse my car.
I couldn't care less whether my name is shoved in some ever increasing CONTRIBUTOR.md file that no one but machines will read.
I'm actually going to start documenting blocks of code more thoroughly so Copilot can better infer what each block does.
