The intent was to allow customers to add attribution of AI-generated code. As with any bug, it was not intetional.

I am reading all pings from GitHub on VS Code and this was just turning into a stream of spam that wasn't adding much new information.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I am not a legal, so can't comment on legal things. However, I have already responded elsewhere here that this feature has nothing to do with licensing or ownership and was added for those that want the attribution. I understand the desire to see anything Microsoft as bad and evil, but we are really just trying to make a better experience.

I'll respond to the third one, thanks!

If you don't have to take my word for it - query VS Code repo for changes and issues that went into implementing this and you will see.
