How am I billed for Copilot code review usage from users without a Copilot license?
Usage from non-licensed users is billed directly to your organization as "premium requests" (PRUs) at the standard multiplier rate for Copilot code review. This flexible model allows you to get full review coverage on every PR without needing to purchase a full Copilot seat for non-development contributors who may not need Copilot. Usage from your existing licensed users simply continues to draw from their included monthly allowance as it does today.
What are the differences between the GitHub Copilot Business, GitHub Copilot Enterprise, and GitHub Copilot Individual plans?
GitHub Copilot has multiple offerings for organizations and an offering for individual developers. All the offerings include both inline suggestion and chat assistance. The primary differences between the organization offerings and the individual offering are license management, policy management, and IP indemnity.
Organizations can choose between GitHub Copilot Business and GitHub Copilot Enterprise. GitHub Copilot Business primarily features GitHub Copilot in the coding environment - that is the IDE, CLI and GitHub Mobile. GitHub Copilot Enterprise includes everything in GitHub Copilot Business. It also adds an additional layer of customization for organizations and integrates into GitHub.com as a chat interface to allow developers to converse with GitHub Copilot throughout the platform. GitHub Copilot Enterprise can index an organization’s codebase for a deeper understanding of the customer’s knowledge for more tailored suggestions and will offer customers access to fine-tuned custom, private models for inline suggestions.
GitHub Copilot Individual is designed for individual developers, freelancers, students, educators, and open source maintainers. The plan includes all the features of GitHub Copilot Business except organizational license management, policy management, and IP indemnity.

I am with @HrumHrum , I need to decide whether to upgrade my team's legacy 2015 VS solutions to work with 2019 or wait for the next VS release. It would be nice to have a ball park date for the next release of Visual Studio. As a side note, it's sad to see what appears to be Microsoft's abandonment of their development support for .Net and Windows OS specific development tools in favor of VS Code/NodeJs/NPM open source stack. The one thing that Steve Ballmer got right was his "Developers, developers, developers..." address at the MS yearly company meeting a decade or more ago at Safeco field (I was an MS blue badge back then and I was there). If you want to promote your OS/Cloud offerings, expand and support your developer community, that was Ballmer's message and that strategy worked. While I'm on a roll here, deprecating the Visual Studio Load Test Framework was a huge mistake IMO (I still use the Load Test framework - world class perf/load/scale test tool and you can drive it with C# which is a language far superior to NodeJs IMO but don't get me started just look at how many data type possibilities there that result in a dynamic type conversion in JavaScript and the introduction of the +++ operator, geez what a joke, anyhow I digress.). The team that supported the Load Testing Framework may not have proven that their work pays for the cost of their development but the problem is that Microsoft does not appear to be measuring the indirect revenues related to developers who choose, evangelize and support Microsoft products.
