I don't think most open source dev:s want CoPilot or a FOSS alternative for this very reason:

Code assist AI does no attribution.

This removes engagement between the dev and library authors. this ruins chances of engaging new contributors over time, eroding and killing the FOSS communities.

Code assist AI also does not care about licenses. See [1]

Most is a stretch. I would say it’s more like a vocal minority, largely consisting of GPL proponents.
