If the tech becomes open (and all indicators point to it being open in the near future) then it will become impossible to shut down. This has already happened with Stable Diffusion and the related model leaks. People's expectations have already been set by this technology, and they are only going to want more. Also, AI researchers are still publishing their work out in the open for anyone to reproduce. If there was a Copilot model out in the wild like with Stable Diffusion then this ceases to be a valid question, regardless of the model's legality. All it takes is a single leak or decision by another entity to release their own code generation model.
