Either these things stop or software licensing is meaningless. Pick one.
People somehow arguing that both things can be untrue are delusional imo. If copilot is ok, then obfuscating code in order to get around a license is ok.
Copilot can produce agpl code verbatim, and per the license copilot should also be agpl, but that’s not going to happen practically, so copilot will probably be shut down.
This is to say nothing of commercial code.
Best way to think of it is like - if copilot was a group of people manually writing and sending code would it be ok? No.
Why should big tech be able to effectively reproduce the work of the little guy without following the licenses they set?
