I think it's cool that Copilot exists and it's a worthwhile scientific discovery. However Microsoft is re-selling this to companies and claiming that they can use that and owe nothing to the authors of the code, whose license terms they can ignore, and that is where the problem lies.

When a hacker finds a new way to get into systems or root their phone it's cool. When someone uses that technology to steal money or personal information or encrypt your files it's criminal.

Nothing new in this case.
