I am talking out of my bum here, but I think it’s a good guess.

Normally when you sign up to you a service you are also giving that service provider access to your work. If that is the case here this access would exist outside of the license listed on any given GitHub repo as a separate agreement from the general public.

Specifically, section D.4 [1] of Github's terms of service. That agreement gives them the right to parse or analyze source code. Sounds very much like it justifies training copilot.
