You're right. And in this case "as they wish" is actually "as the US government wishes." I'm not sure they have a choice here.

  Source? Per the register: "The Register has asked GitHub to clarify its actions or cite the US government order naming these developers as SDNs. We've not heard back." This implies that they weren't told to do so by the government, but it's all speculation.

    Their silence doesn't imply anything. Github may be under a gag order for all we know.

      That's why I said it's all speculation.
