My understanding is that it’s all publicly viewable code on Github regardless of licence. The legality of the training data and usage is hotly debated. Although you can get it to generate entire code blocks, my use and where I find it effective is finishing lines of code based on context of what I’m writing, so it’s “filling in the blanks” around my code so to say.
It is not because tone can see that one can use it.
Open source does not mean "free to repurpose"
