I believe it is true that in most cases it won't be infringing. Since even though it can sometimes output some trivial code verbatim to the original, that original work won't run or compile and therefor it is not even a work, just gibrish. Simply limiting the copilot scraping to software with at least a few files will probably resolve that issue. Moreover, if I where github I would simply change that statement regarding the legality and let the developer make the choice if to use or not. More often then not, it would probably make this academic talk that no one cares about. a few functions here and there is not work. Almost never people try to copy stuff like a micro kernel or something so small as to constitute a work. Personally I would rather treat this as a search engine. I don't copy paste code but I may be old fashion and probably the exception here.
