GitHub is private property, and they have the right to eject anyone from their property for any reason or even no reason at all.
And the code is open-source under the MIT license, so GitHub can do with it as they see fit.
- kodemager 5y agoThe MIT license doesn’t give you the right to claim ownership over someone else’s code. You can copy it and claim ownership over that, but it doesn’t allow you to remove the author from their work and then keep the work as your own. The author has a right to delete it if they want to.
- amyjess 5y agoAre you saying that it's a violation of the MIT license to distribute MIT-licensed code if the author asks that you take it down? Because I can assure you, that's not how the MIT license works.
