I’d imagine that GitHub will end up re-training Copilot, excluding any “copyleft” licensed code. Not because what they do is legally tainted, but to avoid being berated by the FSF and the bad press that ensues.

Once again though, the FSF makes “free software” less relevant and harder to use. Who will want to use such software for anything when being threatened with costly litigation and bad press?
