Still sounds pretty friendly to me. Obviously once you modify the code Github cannot be liable anymore for the lines edited. Otherwise you could push all kinds of infringement on them just because Copilot was active.

Reasonable development practices certainly don't include scanning every line for copyright, but should catch the most obvious cases.

Overall I'm surprised they're willing to bet $500k per client on the legality of Copilot.
