The user’s name is Mr Steal Your Script. The right approach in this case is not to waste money on a lawyer (or expect some lawyer to work pro Bono). The right approach is to post about it publicly and bring shame upon GitHub for being the l

I came here to say that it was about commercial real estate incentives and glad to see someone pointed it out. Seems like the obvious reason why someone would suggest such an otherwise ludicrous idea, backed up by such fallacious reasoning.
