If the github ToS supercedes the author's own licence, then I guess the uploader is effectively relicensing the code without the author's permission. That would mean the author has cause for action against the uploader, but not against github.

I personally dislike git; I find it too complicated, because of features I don't need. Microsoft has always disliked FOSS anf GPL, and I suspect that Copilot is a deliberate effort to undermine it.
