Copilot Business/Enterprise terms now point to different governing documents depending on purchase channel

For Copilot Business and Enterprise customers who buy directly from GitHub, the governing terms change from the Copilot Product Specific Terms to the GitHub Generative AI Services Terms. Customers who buy through Microsoft are now pointed to Microsoft's Product Terms. The effective date was also updated.

Taken from you
