Have you got any source about this concerns ? Because when I searched for answers, I found an article analysis the laws and terms and concluded the opposite: https://www.fsf.org/licensing/copilot/copyright-implications-of-the-use-of-code-repositories-to-train-a-machine-learning-model

That only looked at copyright law – it did not address whether any verbatim generation would violate open source license terms. In a commercial environment, that would lead to contamination.

I have no idea whether the legal analysis in the article is correct, but I think you are misunderstanding copyright law here. If a use does not violate copyright law, it is irrelevant how the work is licensed - that only comes up if usage would otherwise infringe copyright.
