So if I go and upload my fork of that code to GitHub it won't be removed?

    Why would they care whether I continue to develop it or not? I thought the code wasn't sanctioned.

      They do not. As I understand it, you are free to develop it. GitHub can't stop you from doing that. I'm not sure of your point here.

Most people don’t want to deal with customers where they have to monitor that distinction. (Those folks can always just host the code themselves.)
