Hijacking the comment to say: Fork the shit out of this repo immediately. Fuck Haier.
Ghetto fork it. GitHub will nuke the forks done via the fork button with the initial DMCA
Fork it on a different platform - GitLab or something like it - we really should diversify our code repos. Microsoft has too much power with GitHub
I’m sure it exists outside the sphere of my knowledge, but this saga made me wonder if there’s some sort of Git/Bay-type site for software developed in the public interest, but is otherwise belligerent to corporate pressure.
