Description

As a user of `pixi` which is part of the `conda` ecosystem, I'd like to package `copilot-cli` for `conda-forge` so I can easily install it with `pixi global install copilot-cli`, or specify it as a dependency of an application.

The `conda` package would just include the `copilot-cli` binary, along with metadata such as the version and any dependency information (none for the `copilot-cli`). This would be redistributing on a standalone basis, as a `conda` package, but is necessary to specify it as a dependency of a `conda` application.

This would appear to contradict the license clauses below:
https://github.com/github/copilot-cli/blob/28d2487331bab53f92cc72bd703ebf2c2dca6d5c/LICENSE.md?plain=1#L9-L10

I have a couple of questions:
1. Am I correct and the license prohibits distributing as a `conda` package?
2. If so, is there any chance of removing that restriction, either completely, or specifically for distributing as a `conda` package?
