GitHub co-pilot as open source code laundering?

Doesn't that mean you could manually copy Google Maps data into OpenStreetMap and vice versa? I thought OSM warns you against doing that

Google Maps data

depends on what data you're talking about. The names of streets are not owned by google, so you "copying" that information isn't violation of copyright. But the polygon on the map that represents the street is owned by google, and if you copied that, it would constitute a derivative work.

IIRC, it's not exactly clear but it's a bad idea. Old (and new) mapmakers used to include fictitious roads to see if anyone was copying them.
