They had better start paying their lawyers overtime. You can't do a PR without forking and people fork on Github for a multitude of reasons (I often fork into a group as a lazy form of bookmarking or collecting projects).

Hell. I just clicked the 'fork' button. Where's my cease and desist?



I would argue that GitHub should remove this software. It just runs counter with their TOS.


A PR isn't the only way to contribute. You can also check out the repo and send in patch files.


Just wondering: for lazy repo bookmarking, why fork rather than star?


For me, forks are like super stars. I have an order of magnitude more stars than forks.
