Given that Monotype has a nonzero chance of browsing this thread, are you sure this is a fact you want to publicly draw attention to?

  many of us have already saved it. If they go full-streisand on that, so good!

    Right, but the author made his intentions and wishes clear, and I feel like publicly drawing attention to him in this manner disrespects those intentions and wishes.

      This is the Internet and it's bound to happen. If not me, someone else would have, and probably already, pointed it out. I'm also not sure what you are referring to with "the author made his intentions and wishes clear", but think my pointing out of the git history has nothing to do with it. Thinking my comment is in any way going to influence the fate of this repository seems a bit far fetched.

      > disrespects those intentions and wishes I don't interpret it this way. All the author has said is that he didn't want the hassle of fighting the take-down, not that he particularly wished for the take-down to proceed or that he thought it was correct (legally or otherwise). Depending on the wording of the take-down notice, not having removed the history as well as the latest easily accessible versions could have been an error on his part that Monotype may now ask him to rectify (hopefully nicely and politely, if they do), or as he is active on this thread he may do anyway. The tone of his comment above doesn't suggest he is bothered by people drawing attention to the matter.
