Is this similar to people moving away from giving their code as open source when companies take it, repackage, and sell it while the authors get nothing?
A lot of open source licenses demand that if the licensed code is included in a derivative work, that new work has to carry the same license. GitHub Copilot is straightforwardly violating these terms in many cases, and I hope the pending class action lawsuit sets statutory boundaries around the inclusion of data in a training set, and that those boundaries are retroactive.
