Imported Openzeppelin contract is different than on GitHub

Question

I am trying to import the ERC2981.sol from the OpenZeppelin contracts repository. In their GitHub page the royaltyInfo is a public function. But for some reason when I import it in my project, this function is external. This is the function (which is public):

https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/5a75065659a65e65bb04890192e3a4bcb7917fff/contracts/token/common/ERC2981.sol#L43

But on Remix this is what it looks like and is external (inside .debs/npm/@openzeppelin/[email protected]/token/commonERC2981.sol)

And this is how I import it:

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
import "@openzeppelin/[email protected]/token/common/ERC2981.sol";

And I am using 0.8.7+commit.e28d00a7 as a solidity compiler in Remix.

My question is: How can I resolve this issue? I can change the external to public in my hardhat deployment but I don't like to do this (changing manually).

It seems that this change has occurred within the last 3 weeks, and v4.5.0 was released on February 9th. Try using pre-release @4.6.0-rc.0 instead of @4.5.0 in the import statement. Be carful when using these pre releases as there can be bugs. You should be fine, but I would review the code that you are looking at in that GitHub before deploying to Mainnet.

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
import "@openzeppelin/[email protected]/token/common/ERC2981.sol";
