We have been here before and probably will again. Companies are not for or against OSS, it's just a tool for maximizing whatever their mission are. And that includes codeium too. Right now, it is in codeium interest to push for OSS so they do so, and MSFT to try to protect github copilot advantage so they do so.
Give it a couple of years and codeium will be doing the same game (is they survive that long), same as reddit, stack overflow etc... etc...
As for msft, it's the classic case of company short sightedness here : msft has been slowly building a good reputation around OSS which foster trust and adoption by the wider community. And they are trading all of this good will for a market which is not even mature yet.
