I'd be interested in hearing from the cited number of people. If it's like 5 randos, then that's quite possibly a misremembering, or even conceivably the victims of some unrelated code theft. If it's a few dozen people, well that would have very different implications.

- chefandy 3y agoSeems worth tracking publicly. Maybe I should create a GH rep.... er... hm...
- agilob 3y agoMaybe worth posting leaked Windows, Apple, Intel, Steam, The Wicher codes on GH as private repos and then seeing who will sue whom first.
- beaugunderson 3y agoI went through my private repos and the only one I found was one where I had forked a project, called `documentation`, and my fork made it into the Software Heritage archive. Sometime between then and now I deleted my fork and cloned a private repo with the same name. I confirmed the Software Heritage archive only has the one that was public and not the private one. I feel like we'd be hearing much louder alarm bells if the Software Heritage archive included private code given how many people rely on private GitHub repos.
