So the code suggestion comes from the same data trained for the public version, which could include GPL code or have other issues?

I doubt any company would use this in their production code. Internal tools, maybe.

Microsoft itself uses and suggests this internally for production code.
This version specifically removes snippets that appear in open source code.
So instead of Open Source license violations for which it'd theoretically be possible to provide information to comply with those licenses, it instead only violates proprietary software licenses for which you shouldn't be using the code at all?
was it trained on proprietary software?
