GPL doesn’t restrict you from using it as input to a model. It’s just that as the model is a derivative work, it also has to be released under the GPL.

I know this is the main question, but is it a derivative work? Does all the code I write need to be under the GPL because I once read some GPL code and learned from it?

Or does copilot not work like other ML projects and actually copies sections of code?

FWIW GPL was an example, I honestly don’t know whether it applies to the particular case.
