How much of the code needs to be "unique" across a single codebase for copilot to be illegally pasting it downstream ?

For a great deal of copilot insertions, it's like the equivalent of me writing the sentence, "the man gasped in surprise" in a novel I'm working on. Yeah maybe that sentence came from somebody else's novel, but you can find the same damn sentence in a thousand other books/papers/etc as well.
