If the license is missing, it is a violation of the license and there is legal recourse. Just like if someone did the same thing manually.

- olalonde 3y agoThis can be solved with automated tools that review your code for copyright violations. But to be honest, this is a non-issue. Copilot (and co) rarely outputs copyrighted code verbatim and when it does, it's usually too small or too trivial to fall under copyright protection. I made a prediction last year that no one will get sued from using Copilot generated code and I believe it has held so far[0].
