I this case, an injunction doesn't force me to do anything. It prevents me from doing something, namely distributing the 10 lines of copilot-regurgitated GPL code in my program.

The solution to that is to remove or replace those lines.

That's not worse than damages. That's just table stakes. That's expected no matter what happens. If I had a few lines of GPL code in a proprietary code base, I'd do that the day it was discovered.

To understand the frequency of injunctions, have a look at this test:

Injunctions generally only happens if other means (like damages) have been exhausted.
