If you think I'm mistaken I will gladly reevaluate what I said if you could kindly restate your position, by answering a few questions
What does separate service mean? What would Copilot look like if it was not separate?
Elaborate on "not a service on their website", as it is available and listed as a feature "Github Copilot" on their website.
Is the contradiction related to payment for the service, or just because you think it is separate?
Since I thought you were arguing that Githubs own terms prevent them from using the public repositories in Copilot, this is what I argued against.
If you think fair use is involved, then that's the end of the line. If MS claims fair use, then until a court says otherwise, it is. Anyone who thinks their copyright is being violated can get an injunction tomorrow.
