The title of the article is extraordinary wrong that makes it click bait. There is no "yes to copilot" It is only a formalization of what Linux said before: All AI is fine but a human is ultimately responsible. " AI agents cannot use the legally binding "Signed-off-by" tag, requiring instead a new "Assisted-by" tag for transparency" The only mention of copilot was this: "developers using Copilot or ChatGPT can't genuinely guarantee the provenance of what they are submitting" This remains a problem that the new guidelines don't resolve. Because even using AI as a tool and having a human review it still means the code the LLM output could have come from non GPL sources.
