I'm not sure that someone who published their work under the GPL hasn't thereby given consumers the right to put the repo on github. If the rights Github asks for in their ToS can be construed as a subset of the rights granted by the GPL, Github is just another GPL licensee. Unless they violate the conditions of the license, they're just utilizing their GPL rights. |

And here is exactly the problem.
GitHub seems to be copying copyrighted code left and right and pretend they made it!
No attribution, no license.
They are of course allowed to let their AI study the code, but as "employer" of that AI GitHub/Microsoft has a responsibility if that AI breaks copyright right and left and they as a company pretend the code is theirs to give away.
