This is a pretty stupid hill to die on. Humans read code and forget authors too. Nobody cites 100% of the origin of their knowledge when writing new code. Most people don't cite anything. You could write a script that says "this repo is similar to these repos" based on copilots embedding space and it would be far superior to any typical human attribution.

The difference is that copilot is memorizing and reciting code verbatim without mentioning the source.

If a human does that we call it plagiarism.
