Description
Summoning Copilot for a review is now injecting ads into pull request descriptions:
- https://notes.zachmanson.com/copilot-edited-an-ad-into-my-pr/
- https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-copilot-is-now-injecting-ads-into-pull-requests-on-github-gitlab/
There is no apparent way to fully block Copilot from the organization. It is impossible for users to disable it once cursed with free Copilot Pro for Open Source users. But it should be against org policy to summon it here.
