Maybe not enforceable (I dunno) but the academic scraping clause seems very good. You can't really hide that you scraped from GH if you want to publish it according to accepted standards (transparency, i.e. there will be a "data was collected this way" section). So if you don't open access your work you risk writing a worse paper if you want to hide where you got the data. At the very least this gives us a nice opportunity to shame people for not OAing their Github-data based papers. I like it :)
