I got curious and just found PR #20, which made me think this scheme gives Epic a way to hitch onto GitHub's management of export controls. I.e., if you're in a country to which US companies aren't allowed to disclose software, GitHub likely has this figured out, and by Epic requiring a GitHub account, they don't have to figure out all the rules and regulations themselves (again).

- vineyardmike 4y agoYeah, epic not being able to share is unrelated to you being able to receive. It means someone else is breaking a rule/law.
