I think it does allow download, although it is a little unclear; from the previous sentence:
> By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and "fork" your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies of Content from your repositories in repositories they control).
If I clone a Github repo to my local machine this is 'making my own copy in a repository I control'. But this clause doesn't grant any further right, e.g., to compile code in the repo. This isn't an unheard-of situation: e.g., Knuth allows distribution of the TeX source to the TeXbook but not compiling the source with a TeX engine.
