The fact that non-AI changes are attributed to Copilot is a bug. The intent was to allow customers to add attribution of AI-generated code. As with any bug, it was not intetional.

Thank you so much for explaining the exact reason I did it!

I am reading all pings from GitHub on VS Code and this was just turning into a stream of spam that wasn't adding much new information.

I did both, didn't I? :-)

Correct.

I really did create a new account to respond :)

I think this is a good point - perhaps there should be some commit-time UI which would let the user make the choice. Thanks for the suggestion!

First comment does not sound constructive - are you interested in my opinion on (n)vim?

I am not a legal, so can't comment on legal things. However, I have already responded elsewhere here that this feature has nothing to do with licensing or ownership and was added for those that want the attribution. I understand the desire to see anything Microsoft as bad and evil, but we are really just trying to make a better experience.

I'll respond to the third one, thanks!

The change was about helping teams ensure AI-generated code is attributed in commits - nothing to do with copyrights and the like. If you don't have to take my word for it - query VS Code repo for changes and issues that went into implementing this and you will see.

That's ok :-)

It would be tricky, yes, since it depends on core editor functionality which is not exposed through the API.
