Any public GitHub fork is being distributed.
- efilife 2y agoYou can't have a private Github fork
- bdcravens 2y agoYes you can; it's set at the organization level https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-organization-settings/managing-the-forking-policy-for-your-organization https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-organizati...
- zorgmonkey 2y agoYou can, but only private forks of a private repo are allowed. Private forks of public repos are not allowed by design (modulo some weird bugs that were discussed on a past post).

If they were trying to grant a narrow permission and then enjoin someone they thought was outside of their definition, it would matter (But they just aren't giving permission to distribute modified versions).
