Someone has pushed a button and it's run the equivalent of cookiecutter on the repo.

This, the reason why we have the DMCA is to protect copyright holders, now the copyright holders should exercise their right.

What? no, this goes entirely against the idea of laws.

Copyright laws have one major purpose: protect the right holders. It does so by giving them tools to mitigate their loses by deterring people from infringing.

If a right holder has to invest more time in complaining on people about infringement than actually having time to do other stuff, like creating, then we've got it all wrong.
