Their objection to it has nothing to do with the use of GPL source code. They object to it because:

> We already know that Copilot as it stands is unacceptable and unjust, from our perspective. It requires running software that is not free/libre (Visual Studio, or parts of Visual Studio Code), and Copilot is Service as a Software Substitute.

> With all these questions, many of them with legal implications that at first glance may have not been previously tested in a court of law, there aren't many simple answers.
