That is for people using Copilot. I’d like a setting that tells GitHub to not scan my code at all. And I am curious about that sneaking into the terms in between me signing up and paying and them taking code for free.

I have also never heard of “public code” being used in that way.

What about people forking/mirroring your code? Or people merely contributing code? There is no one-to-one correspondence between copyright holders and Github users.

Copilot should just comply with the license, that's it.

It seems they don't comply with licenses. And it's not possible to fork or mirror to private repositories.

It would be a lot less trouble for everyone if it was just a per repository setting.

A good first approximation of such a setting is to never publish on Github in the first place.

Of course, someone else can still upload your elsewhere-published code to GH. You cannot win.
