Actually, they're subpoenaing. This is necessary to identify who may have accessed it; i don't think this is a suit over the privacy of gists.

Actually, it's not. If Github's TOS (and their legal argument in response to the subpoena) is strong enough, Uber can go fly a kite.

Fair—but they won't have the opportunity without the subpoena. Point is, the subpoena means nothing bad about github itself.
