It should be noted that public github repos are _not_ public domain and not even necessarily open source unless the author specifies a license.
- timr 12y agoIt's part of the GitHub terms of service: "By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and fork your repositories."
- rtb 12y agoPermission to "view and fork" is not the same as permission to copy and paste into a proprietary software product (i.e. this may not be legit for use by "enterprise" developers)
