Big deal. Why should we care?

Anyone can fork and mirror it where they want, and make it accessible to anonymous users. Sure, that would "inconvenience" some users, but so what? Github doesn't exist to please every single person out there.

Create your own mirror, and let us know the URL. Don't just whine and try to manufacture outrage if you aren't willing to do contribute resources required to host the code yourself.

I fully support Github's right to use their property (github.com) as they please, because I want the same right for myself.

Github is free to do whatever they want and everyone else is free to complain about. Freedom to do something does not mean you're free of consequences for doing so.
