Don’t most licenses require at least attribution? I don’t believe GitHub is restricting themselves to only licenses that don’t. In fact the only software licenses I can think of that don’t require attribution are 0BSD, WTFPL, CC0, MIT-0 and Unlicense, and they all aren’t super popular. Also in some countries creators have inalienable moral rights which can be enforced regardless of the license. For example in Germany it is impossible to relinquish certain rights you have as the creator of a work, including the right to attribution.

This is an important and overlooked point. Even common permissive licenses (ISC / MIT / Apache-2.0) require attribution

Just as a mind experiment: couldn't CoPilot just publish a list of every github user and attribute the work to all of them?

This feels like a tool that can easily be destroyed by a lawsuit, I can't imagine a TOS can force you to give away your copy rights (especially if they allow and encourage you to post your own copyright).

If it can't then Wikipedia is doomed; its entire licensing status rests on the notion that editors grant such a license as part of their clickwrap ToS.
