how does another platform help you evade copilot? wouldn’t a “lower” platform have to pursue legal routes that are very unpalatable for those lacking deep pockets and legal expertise?
Anyone may purchase a domain name from a registrar (such as 'example.com'). That is not a 'lower platform'. It's just a domain name. Sure, it's not as popular as 'github.com' but in every other way (in the DNS) it is equal. And unlike github.com, you have full control of that domain and its DNS records.
There are no unique legal issues with regard to buying a domain name and writing and publishing source code on that domain. Using 'github.com' to host your source code does not give you more legal rights or protections. Copyright is copyright and a license is a license no matter where you publish it.
You should not be afraid to buy a domain, write source code and publish it there. It's not illegal to do that and you are not at more risk (although these big central social platforms would like for you to believe that).
