Oh wait a sec... Another BS third party Github DMCA complaint? This sounds very similar to the "REACT" Github DMCA complaint last month also covered by TF [0]. Where someone was (not) using Casio's software on an ARM SBC inside a plastic Casio case.
"REACT" [1], "BSA" [2]... they are both non-profit, why are they both so comfortable using blatant DMCA abuse as a means to silence content their members disapprove of?
