I think people may be drastically over-valuing their code. If it was emitting an entire meaningful product, that would be something else. But it’s emitting nuts and bolts.

If the issue is more specifically copyright infringement, then leverage the legal apparatus in place for that. Their lawyers might listen better.

This is not a strongly held opinion and if you disagree I would love to hear your constructive thoughts!

To some extent I agree with your opening. That is, plenty of cases CP is showing how mundane most code is. It's one commodity stitched to another stitched to another.

That's not considering any legal / license issues, just a simple statement about the data used to train CP.
