Most companies building commercial products on top of FOSS are obeying the license requirements. (I have been through due diligence reviews where we had to demonstrate that, for each library/tool/package.)

The same cannot be said for Copilot: there have been prior examples here on HN showing that it can emit large chunks of copyrighted code (without the license).
