no, you agree to give certain rights to GitHub when you upload. Rights you do not have with most open source licenses because they do require attribution.

> generated code isn't distributed under under an opensource license

you still have to comply with licenses and if code pilot spits out code which contains nearly verbatim code which was MIT licensed it is not copilot which needs to grant you the license but the original code owner (or you need to at least properly attribute it, through in case of e.g. GPL that is not enough)

but through the act of emitting code via code pilot github does distribute code (without proper attribution) and they do so by getting rights from the uploader to be able to do so. Except that most people uploadig do not have such rights for anything which isn't their code.
