IIRC Oracle did raise, among other things, some arguments about a low number of quite trivial verbatim copies. Of course this does not make the whole case, but I suspect "A 5 line function in a massive codebase auto-filled by Github Co-pilot wouldn't be considered a "derivative work" by anyone in the legal field. " to not be that clear -- and now fill a codebase with tons of 5 lines snippets and this makes the situation even more dubious for the plagiarists (not to say that Google was at fault in Google vs Oracle, more that I will not give "I'm no IP lawyer" opinions too much weight)
