Nitpick: the title implies that Uber is suing Github, but that's not the case. Uber has a civil suit pending in N.D. Cal., and has issued Uber a third-party subpoena: http://regmedia.co.uk/2015/02/28/ubergithubexhibit.pdf. Such subpoenas are used when a third party might have information relevant to a pending lawsuit. They do not imply any allegations of wrongdoing against the third party.

As a general rule headlines from 'The Register' should probably not be copied directly regardless of the rules on this website.

Actual headline: "FORK ME! Uber hauls GitHub into court to find who hacked database of 50,000 drivers"

There's actually an exception in the site rules[0] for the sorts of titles which are common on the Reg:

> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait.
