What is being scraped is not GitHub s data. It's other people's.

Exactly. I permissively license my code, but not because I want to improve mega-corp’s bottom line. I’m annoyed.

I felt exactly like this when I learned that some of my Goodwill donations - the good stuff - is marked up and sold online, instead of going to low income folks at low-income prices. It might be even worse, given the capability they are building intends to compete with me directly as a developer. It’s like if Goodwill started funding domestic terrorists or the local burglars union.
