> forbid any use of Github co-pilot for our codebase,

I have recommended as such to the CTO and other senior engineers at the startup I work at, pending some clear legal guidance about the specific licensing.

My casual read of Copilot suggests that certain outputs would be clear and visible derivatives of GPL code, which would be _very bad_ in court- probably? Some other company can have fun in court and make case law. We have stuff to build.
