Fair use is quite narrowly defined though. This doesn’t look like fair use to me, especially when its been shown that copilot does, at least sometimes, spit out code that is completely unchanged from the source material, without advising the user of any license requirements (most permissive licenses require at least attribution).
The SCO vs IBM lawsuit was over only a few lines of code, after all.
I cant use a derivative of Mickey Mouse in my product, even if I change his colour and give him a hat, even if these changes were made by an AI. Why would it be different for code? I cab only use Mickey Mouse as fair use if its done for a specific barrow set of proposes (satire, news reporting etc).
