Evidence (3)

  1. E1 GitHub Copilot for Business is now widely available - GitHub Changelog GitHub (The GitHub Blog changelog) · 14 February 2023 Own record

    “GitHub Copilot for Business is now available to Free, Team, and GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers. This update allows more organizations to give their developers access to GitHub Copilot’s powerful AI while providing administrators with license management and centralized policy controls on top of industry-leading privacy.”
  2. E2 GitHub Copilot for Business is now available GitHub Blog · 14 February 2023 Own record

    “GitHub Copilot for Business is the first stride in this future, a future that will push the boundaries for all developers.”
  3. E3 GitHub Copilot is generally available for businesses GitHub Blog · 7 December 2022 Own record

    “GitHub Copilot for Business is officially here with simple license management, organization-wide policy controls, and industry-leading privacy—all for $19 USD per user per month.”

Reasoning

GitHub's changelog entry dated 2023-02-14 (E1) states that GitHub Copilot for Business "is now available to Free, Team, and GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers." An earlier GitHub blog post dated 2022-12-07 (E3) states that Copilot for Business was "officially here" at $19 per user per month. Both are dated official announcements from GitHub, a Microsoft subsidiary. They show the product was available for organisations to buy on or before 2023-02-14, which meets the 'true' criterion.
