Copilot for Business includes an $500k indemnity if you turn on excluding suggestions that match open source code https://github.com/customer-terms/github-copilot-product-spe...

Good to know, but there are caveats:

"GitHub’s defense obligations do not apply if (i) the claim is based on Code that differs from a Suggestion provided by GitHub Copilot, (ii) you fail to follow reasonable software development review practices designed to prevent the intentional or inadvertent use of Code in a way that may violate the intellectual property or other rights of a third party, or (iii) you have not enabled all filtering features available in GitHub Copilot."

Do they define what constitutes "reasonable software development review practices designed to prevent the intentional or inadvertent use of Code in a way that may violate the intellectual property or other rights of a third party" ?

>(iii) you have not enabled all filtering features available in GitHub Copilot

I was trying to find out what these exact filtering settings are but I land at this page [1].

The other links just download the Product Specific terms PDF again.

Not sure if this is an oversight or intentionally intended to be circular.

I wonder if the procurement departments get to negotiate that higher for the bigger contracts, because that's low imo.
this seems like it covers non-business copilot as well
