> As a leader of a FOSS project that is on github...Do I have that reasoning correct?
The way I read the article was that by being on GitHub, you are implicitly agreeing to no longer be a FOSS project as regards licensing. GitHub customers can use Copilot to generate proprietary code that's identical to your project's code (several articles I have read call this overall idea "laundering through Copilot", which sounds incendiary but accurate to me) without needing to respect your license.
The other stuff you said is...kind of irrelevant. Sure, you get a lot of convenience from GitHub. If you don't care about software freedoms in the libre/copyleft sense and regard a "do whatever you want" license as the best, then it's probably fine to keep using GitHub.
