Doesn't seem like a problem to me. GitHub Copilot is a tool like a search engine. If I Google for some code snippet and copy it into my codebase, I can't blame Google, Github, and Stack Overflow. Instead I can only blame myself.

In this way, making sure I'm not writing proprietary code is important.

Fortunately it looks like Copilot only uses open repositories so that's good.
