GitHub want to treat GPL as special in this case. They choose to not use proprietary code for training copilot, for the obvious reasons of getting sued by companies that uses github, and instead put a bet that using GPL and other FLOSS licenses won't cost them more than what they earn by developing copilot. Copilot is thus completely depending on this economical bet. It for those reasons why we could not write a "Cosinger" or Comusician" that is trained on music found on youtube. It would be sued into oblivion the first time any 2-3 notes could be linked to a specific copyrighted song. If copilot survive long term we might see a similar project trained on creative common music, including CC-NC no-derivs, but music labels might own a few of those and their guns would be quite large.
