If you disregard counterfeiting laws, sure

  Counterfeiting laws? Like, seriously? The guy placed the code online in good faith. He didn't follow "protocol" and attach a license, so what. IP laws are toothless wastes of time, anyway. Information wants to be free, so fucking let it.

    .. yes, seriously? in my country the "default" sanction for copying software unlawfully is three years of prison and a 300000€ fine. Just because the source code is online does not mean that you have the right of even looking at it - last time I read GitHub TOS the only specific rights GH mandated is what they need for allowing the "fork" feature to work in the Github UI (not even as a "git clone" fork) or something like that. > IP laws are toothless wastes of time, anyway. Information wants to be free, so fucking let it. sure, I absolutely agree. It does not mean that people doing the git clone aren't at risk - who knows whether OP wasn't going to start sueing people for using their software unlawfully in a year or so ? there definitely have been worse schemes

      IP laws are only as valuable as the amount someone is willing to fight for them.
