What happens if the customers is found to be infringing, and is also forced to cease and desist, so delete code generated by Copilot?

Or if their code is mandated to be open sourced to comply with the GPL?

if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft’s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit

It doesn't address lost revenue or any other blow back from having to take down your content but it does say they will pay any judgement/settlement costs.
