Only 1) would be really valuable here. Expecting a legitimate 2) explanation from a DMCA request is idealistic/naive.

Otherwise HN comments usually provide the rest. News/blog posts with loaded headlines can often derail conversations as much as provide context. Which is why I'm hesitant to expect HN's frontpage to be an editorialized newspaper or heavily moderated forum that better serves the low engagement crowd.

If you have an actual better source then by all means, share it. I'm sure dang will consider swapping it.

No, GitHub posts their received DMCA notices publicly and links to them from the takedown page. So 2) is a reasonable expectation and it isn't present here, suggesting the post title is pure speculation.

> explanation from a DMCA request is idealistic/naive.

There is not even proof/details it was a DMCA takedown request. Given the subject matter, of course wouldn't be surprised, but all you are going to get in the comments is pure speculation/blathering because there is simply no information about what's going on.
