It would be good if Copilot was also released as Open Source, since it's a work derived from the contents of GPL/AGPL codebases. Until they clean up their training data, it won't be easy to call it "good" (and I say this as an AI/Microsoft/Github apologist)

Off the top of my head, I remember ZFS's license not being considered compatible with GPL (hence it not being included by default by most Linux distros), but I'm sure there must be others.
