The plea seems to be against proprietary tech built off open source efforts.
If they open sourced Copilot then it would probably comply with most of the licenses anyways.
Like at the very, least, respect the licenses, that means, give attribution, and provide your own source as open source and under the same terms.
Open source is what allowed this progress in the first place, and the way I see it, commercial interest is actually simply trying to slow it down by keeping it behind proprietary trade secrets.
