Should the snippets that Copilot is regurgitating be considered for copyright in the first place? It seems akin to trying to copyright a certain drum pattern or chord progression. Also, the history of the GPL, MIT, commercializing lisp machines, Symbolic, infighting, etc… seems a very different context than Copilot so I am having difficulty seeing the systemic problems that tools like this encourage. There is of course a surface level similarity in that a corporation is profiting from IP in the public domain but the devil is in the details.
