The because of training claim is wrong.

Quoting the Gentoo post:

Mostly because of the continuous attempts to force Copilot usage for our repositories,

It seems to be about GitHub pushing copilot usage, not them training on data. Moving away doesn't prevent training anyway. And I'm sure someone will host a mirror on hitting if they don't.
