  Exactly, but since it's a learning project it's not obvious it's supposed to receive and accept code contribution anyway (so far it didn't receive any, the only two commits are fixes to typos in the README). That being said, it would be nice from the author to put the code under a permissive license to allow other people to play with his code too (at the moment, even forking it is a copyright infringement…).

      Yes you're right, github forking is allowed. Pulling the code on your computer, changing it and contributing changes on your fork is still illegal though.

        Not illegal, but rather not granted (and not denied either). Only the author decides, as it's his right, not someone's else.
