First comment does not sound constructive - are you interested in my opinion on (n)vim?
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.
Perhaps next time you should consult with legal before asserting co-authorship on end users’ code. The appended comment was not “edited with VS code” or “sent from VS code”, it was “co-authored by Copilot”. You do understand that there are legal implications to claims of authorship, right?
Comments like this are why developers don’t engage directly. The first link is “just asking questions” and implying that the project is rotten. He’s not being “creative” he’s just not engaging in bait.
I noticed you only respond to comments that are positive (or neutral). The majority (and the most insightful) comments here are negative, but you seem to ignore them.

I'll respond to the third one, thanks!

It was pretty obvious from your first comment that you were going to get creative with the definition of "constructive".
> are you interested in my opinion on (n)vim?
The first comment is three short lines. One of them is the extremely reasonable and relevant question of where else this has happened in VSCode.
And you think that the commenter is wondering about your opinion on (n)vim? That is what you think they are interested in?
Could you just, like, ignore the signature if it is distracting you from the only other line that has a question in it?
