Is GitHub Copilot violates free software licenses?

   Hi all,
   GitHub recently released a service called Github Copilot
   ([1]https://copilot.github.com/) that suggests code lines and functions
   to programmers.
   This has been trained on publicly available code.
   I think any code that copilot generates  could be violating many free
   software licenses, as it derived code from free software projects.
   There are discussions about this in

   Cheers,
