Specifically I'm looking for licenses that bar loading the code into LLMs. Github is feeding open source code into Copilot and selling it to people and they need to be stopped.
They also provide free hosting.
Besides, compute is not free and alledgedly llms require a lot of it.
Personally, I would look at the numbers before complaining.
Where you are right though is that it does lower the barrier for people to copy simpler projects.
For large ones, the llms are still not up to par.
Unless you want people to pay a llm plugin per-project which is akin to having a subscription service for netflix, hulu, disney plus, amazon prime, etc. Just bad UX.
I think there is no fighting it.

Could you move to Gitlab? Or do they do it too?
