Dictatorships are scary, but they're sloppy, bad at police work and don't apply their laws consistently. May be in a western country you have to worry about whether or not you broke the letter of the law. In an authoritarian country, you have to worry about whether you made someone in power upset, or just presented an easy target for some police officials to close another case they need for their KPI — which they do absolutely heartlessly, but in the most primitive and least labour-intensive way. So, if at some points Iranian police will start going through Github and monitor all PRs and check user's origin countries — then yes, you're in trouble. But I judging from first-hand contact with how authoritarian police operates, they almost never know English well enough to go through foreign resources. And if someone who's educated (and competent) enough to do it is after you, then you're already in great trouble anyway.
