Eh. I might use it if my employer obtained it for me, but I'm not gonna go out of my way to pay $10 to Microsoft for it.

I'm also still skeptical about the legal aspects of it. Microsoft says that training the model is fair use. Good for them, but that's not applicable to me in any way.

Honestly it puts the legal burden on YOU. Think of Github Copilot like a fancy pants search engine, it mixes and matches stuff to your query, and doesn't even tell where it copied it from! Indexing search results, fair use. Using that code in YOUR codebase without a license :)
