Still no way to opt your code out of this.

Disgusting.

Legally, it needs to be opt-in in order to protect downstream consumers of code written by Copilot.

Copilot sometimes reproduces code verbatim. You can't use open source code except under the terms of the license. Authors whose code may be reproduced by Copilot need to grant a license to downstream consumers, and republishers of Copilot-generated code need to adhere to the terms of that license.

Copilot is inserting ticking time-bombs into its users' codebases.

Only if the threshold of originality is passed. I feel many of Copilot snippets are so tiny that this threshold is not reached. But not a judge here.

The threshold of originality is clearly being reached some of the time:
