Not a lawyer, but in that case it seemed to be a factor that turnitin was transformative, because it never sold the texts to others and thus didn't reduce the market value of them. But that wouldn't apply to copilot which might reduce the usage of libraries since you can "code" equivalent functionality with copilot now.
Would it be a stretch to assert that GPL'd libraries have a market value for their creator in terms of reputation etc.?
While we're worrying about ML learning to write our codes we should also break all the automated looms so people don't go without jobs. Do everything manually like God intended! /s
Maybe a code that is easily recreated by GPT with a simple prompt is not worth copyrighting. The future is in making it more automated, not protecting IP. If you compete against a company using it, you can't ignore the advantage.
