I sure hope he doesn't buckle and leaves these repos up.
Hosting source code, libraries, even apps - cannot violate a TOS. Haier can go sue their own customers that use the library or block them if they want to be like that.
- there are several pro-bono groups like https://softwarefreedom.org/ https://softwarefreedom.org/ that might be willing to give legal advise or write a counter-scary-letter back / tell them to F*CK OFF
- do nothing, ignore. take a deep breath, and get on with life.
- if they try to DCMA takedown, use the administrative process to defend and Github will put it back up.
- if still too risk adverse, please at least leave the repos up and just push a top commit that empties them and leaves a README.
- maybe everybody that reads this should fork the project on github
