> don't opt-out of Github's use of their code for things like copilot.

How does one opt-out, aside from not making the source available at all?

GitHub allows you to opt your repos out if (and only if) you pay for Copilot.

Not true. I just opted out and I do not pay for it.

Care to share how? I would like to opt-out but have no idea how.

I went here was able to do so: https://github.com/settings/copilot

I'm also late to this article, so maybe this was a bug that was fixed.

All I see there is a button that says “Enable GitHub Copilot”.

Do you have any public repos? Also, I did apply for the beta but I'm not sure if I was ever accepted, so maybe that is why I have the option. I've definitely never paid for anything though. https://i.imgur.com/KBRUSFa.png

I do have public repos. Perhaps that setting there is about sending snippets from the editor? Unsure. But I definitely don’t see that.
