You casting doubt on this with a frontal assault. Read your post and wanted to check out the 'show' that was implied but all immediately my eyes fell upon this:

Add our “Humans Only Clause” to your MIT license. Your code is still open source — for human developers only.

Sore disappointed that there is no entertainment involved. That's actually a pretty cool idea.

So github doesn't have (could be wrong) a default license grant or a over-riding licensing agreement. Your project, your license. If you change the license of your project, that is entirely your choice.

As to the Q of should we be generous to our corporate masters or take this opportunity to stick to the man and get rewarded for our mind products and compensation for being geeks! Society does owe something, does it not? /G

It's worth having a discussion about it, imo.
