Explanation

Setting 'Suggestions matching public code' to 'blocked' instructs GitHub Copilot to suppress any suggestion that closely matches code found in public repositories. This is the built-in IP infringement protection mechanism provided by Microsoft and GitHub. The other options - blocking by license type, manual self-review, or a 'license checking' toggle - are not actual Copilot configuration options for this purpose.
