That's an incomplete view. You're judging the value by the time it'd take to rewrite it.
The real value is in knowing what to type and why.
When Co-pilot suggests you a GPL code, it's main value is the knowledge, not the typing.
That piece of knowledge may have taken a LOT of effort from an OSS team to acquire.
Depending on the context, this knowledge would be worth millions.
Worth a lawsuit.
