    We want to give developers agency over their source code by letting them decide whether or not it should be used to develop and evaluate machine learning models.

    fuck them seriously; if you want to do that then don’t steal the repositories in the first place.

      Unless I’m mistaken, this wasn’t written by the folks that scaped GitHub in the first place, someone just wrote a small tool to semi-automate the process of searching the scraped dats, and submitting a GitHub issue to have it removed.
