I have some public code with non-free licenses on GitHub and I'm really hoping copilot can reproduce some of my functions without changes. If they do I'll see what they do about DMCA requests for those. But... still waiting for access.

DMCA takedown requests apply to hosts of user-generated content, which MS/Github doesn't pretend to be with Copilot (instead, Copilot is a first-party work that MS has stated a copyright theory regarding), so DMCA requests are meaningless. What you need, if you feel MS is violating your copyright via Github, is a copyright demand letter backed by a willingness to pursue a lawsuit against Microsoft, who have already stated that there position is that Copilot is completely within the Fair Use exception to copyright.
