GitHub is a proprietary, trade-secret system that is not free as in freedom, and their Copilot service pays no respect to the terms and conditions of the code it excerpts from.

From now on, I'll no longer host my new projects on GitHub. All of my existing projects hosted on GitHub are scheduled to be archived or deleted.

Please follow me on Codeberg instead, where I'll continue contributing to the free software community. Should you have any questions, contact me through contact information shown on my personal site.

If you are looking for more information, read about the Give Up GitHub campaign from the Software Freedom Conservancy to understand why GitHub is not a good place to host your projects. Benjamin Mako Hill also stressed the importance of a free development platform in this essay.

Please share about this with as many people as you know, and make sure they escape to freedom as well. You are free to include this text in your README files.
