Copilot very rarely copies code verbatum, and when it does it's very short snippets. When Oracle sued Google over allegedly copying short and fairly trivial snippets of code they were justly derided. I can't speak to the legal side, but I just don't understand the moral outrage over very occasionally copying such short snippets of code. The key innovations and the actual value that licenses are intended to protect aren't in these short snippets. And what does copilot bring to the community? Free use by students, free use by open source maintainers, and a huge boost in productivity for a modest fee for professional devs, for a service that no doubt costs a lot to run, even on the margin.
