Ryan - one word you avoided using in your reply is "license". The fact that Copilot is reproducing code without attribution is not the legal show-stopper here has much as the fact Copilot is reproducing code without documenting what license it falls under.

If your hope is that saying "it came out of our ML model" somehow removes Copilot from the well-established legal framework of licensing, I think you're wrong, and you are creating a minefield that I and others choose to stay well clear of. The revenue from Copilot, and the rest of MS, can probably pay your legal bills, but certainly not mine.
