Bingo. Github Copilot is mostly for organizations that have an existing Azure bill and would rather see that go up then get a new vendor bill. Professional middlemen.

This is pretty straightforward compared to the giant universe of companies that resell Microsoft services.
The number of intermediaries that some customers, especially governmental agencies, go through to get just an Azure bill can be wild...
I’ve recently been unwillingly exposed to this side of things. It’s truly an insane, there must be a better way?
It's BASIC. LET them GOTO jail (BSD also comes to mind)
(see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_licensing_corruption... ) The upside: the EU finally got a prosecutor. And last but not least everybody forgot why the Baby Bells were born.
If you’ve ever had to be part of the frankly batshit insane procurement process that some organizations force you to gauntlet through, it becomes a very obvious and appealing option to do this

It technically does indeed matter, because "then" means a totally different thing in that sentence, but using "then" in that way would be an odd enough way to construct that sentence that it's blindingly obvious that they meant "than".

I get your frustration, and it pisses me off too, but no need to be rude to the commenter to get your point across.
What reasonable interpretation of the sentence is there if "then" is applied literally? I can only find validity using "than", and therefore the use of "then" doesn't matter as the author's intent isn't lost. That said, carrying the assumption that it does matter forward, how are you certain "then" isn't the correct interpretation of the author's intent?
This is the kind of argument you should take to your 3rd grade teacher.
