Can we please disable this in the master repo and every and all fork?
I agree 200% Andy. This is legalized theft in its most blatant form. If
that is not rescinded, we need to find or implement our own git repo and
get our code off github. Even if we have to start a monthly
subscription to pay the bandwidth bills. This is an idea I've floated
before. But found your demand for information about me too onerous when
I last looked years ago. There are several projects I support with small
stipends per month but I do it anonymously.

It seems to be a setting at the personal account level. We can't set
it per-repo.
It claims to only use code from direct interactions, though whether
that includes "looking at linuxcnc control.c..." as giving access to
all of control.c isn't clear.
I wonder what effect, if any, there would be from including the
copyright statement in anything you paste into the copilot chat
window?
Sounds like a heck of a good idea. Get the legal beagles involved. But
getting our code base off of github and out of M$ reach is even better
This is something I knew from the gitgo would happen when M$ bought
github years ago. They've lost a good fraction of their user base, and
are trying to change the spots of a leopard. We know that is
impossible. Absolutely get it beyond M$ reach.
