Microsoft is set to implement a token-based billing system for GitHub Copilot, moving away from the current request quotas. This transition may lead to restrictions on new individual signups, tighter rate limits, and reduced model access for lower-cost plans, indicating a shift towards a more controlled usage model.

Microsoft’s move to open-source GitHub Copilot under the MIT License changes what’s possible for teams building developer tools—and raises real questions about strategy, costs, and competition. This video breaks down what was announced and why it matters if you ship software, manage platforms, or build on AI coding workflows. Key takeaways Covers what it means for Copilot to be “free and open-source” under the MIT License (including forking and modifying it). Explains why Copilot still isn’t “totally free,” and what you’re paying for in the paid product. Walks through why Microsoft might open-source Copilot now, in the context of recent AI coding products and partnerships. Mentions Microsoft also open-sourcing Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and why that’s significant for developers.
