Comment on Microsoft want court to toss lawsuit accusing them of abusing open-source codeparent

They don't aim to. The problem is really just accreditation. If copilot copies a chunk of code for you, chances are the original author was perfectly happy for you to do that, and you put their name somewhere in your credits. Copilot copies the same code, but scrubs the original author. It may also be copying code that was not ok to copy but that's a seperate even worse issue.
