Tone deaf article
AFAIK, Microsoft are not doing anything wrong by renting out copilot, even though it is trained on source with different authors and licences.
The problem comes from anyone using code generated by copilot. There is the minor risk of getting sued for billions for something as trivial as rangeCheck. There is the more major problem of the copyright holder's intent. Some code is written by universities founded by government grants. They often select a BSD/MIT like license so they can track where their code is used and use it as evidence that last years grant did something productive and they should get more next year. People often select GPL so that improvements cannot be hidden in binaries and must instead be returned to the community.
I respect the intent of Microsoft's licenses: pay up (inclusive?)or fuck off. They should respect other people's licenses by getting copilot to generate accurate attribution and licensing requirements.
Robots have not rights at all and certainly do not have the right to ignore copyright law. If there is a problem with the law it is that it may not be possible to hold Microsoft to account for actions taken by their badly programmed robot.
