GitHub made its Copilot Chat feature available to business users as a limited public beta in July. By September, individual users could pay $10 a month for access to the ChatGPT-esque tool for coding. Starting today, Copilot Chat won’t only be included in paid tiers, it’ll also be “free for verified teachers, students and maintainers of certain open source projects,” TechCrunch reports.

This time, it has to fork over $740,000 after an investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James found “a long and burdensome cancellation process” in which the company kept on charging consumers even after they tried to cancel.
