For a long time, Microsoft has used software licenses to reap profits from Windows and Office, the two products that enabled Microsoft to capture near-monopolies in their respective markets. Now, Microsoft is violating other people's software licenses to repackage the work of numerous free and open source software contributors into a proprietary product. There is nothing moral about flouting the same type of contract that you depend on every day, for the sake of generating more money. Either the entire Copilot dataset needs to be made available under a license that would be compatible with the code it was derived from (most likely AGPLv3), or Windows and Office need to be brought into the commons. Microsoft cannot have it both ways without legal repercussions.
