It depends on what the licence is for Github, both in terms of information contributed to them and information obtained from them.

IANAL and I'm too lazy to read it, but I suspect the case is you've given Githuba very broad licence to use the info but they've passed on a much more restrictive one to their users so they can't just run g1thub, an exact mirror of the site. Public domain is very unlikely, but that doesn't mean gitpay is in breach of their terms.

Thanks Macha, good point. Yeah whether gitpay is in breach of github's terms is a bit unclear. On one hand, you allow your content/information to be viewed but not necessarily copied.

So, information is not really in the public domain it's just publicly available. In this case, gitpay should allow anyone who does not wish to have their information available on their website should have a delete feature, and should not hesitate on takedown requests.

Odd that they launched without such a feature.

Upon inspection of their code, at least what is public, they don't have any function for deleting information.
