I don't understand this case. Is Copilot copying code wholesale and presenting it as its own? Because if not, then it doesn't need to attribute anything more than I need to attribute John Go or Edward PHP everytime I use a trick I picked up by reading their code. Obviously, if they trained Copilot on private code repos, that a whole other discussion. But I assume they didn't, so you don't even have the argument that they should have paid the repo authors to be able to train on their code.
