China cares of nothing, from patents to licences. Culture of steal and copy, rebrand and sell/use
I would argue that this culture would possibly be good to learn from them, first. It didn't come to existence as some kind of social evolution, but was impressed by power.
Second, at least they are behind Europeans in the culture of genocide.
Yeah... The main thing I see here is that China (read; government , not the people, not being racist here) will take this code, they will make improvements on it, they will NOT give back. Basically like Microsoft, but now an entire country.
Chinese government hasn't exact had a good reputation when it comes to taking technology and not giving anything back
Not like I'd want contributions from the chinese state programmers.
Feels like an easy entry for state level supply chain attack.
Who says they aren't trying right now? I recall SSH had an attempt quite recently, I can guarantee that China is trying hard to include anything to out in back doors
Preparation for war.
It is a new "internet" archive without copyright bla bla? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Solution: create a GitHub repo with Markdown articles outlining human rights abuses by the CCP and have a large number of GitHub users star and fork the repo.
You've heard of CamelCase and lowercase and intVariableName variable naming styles. Get ready for:

The vast majority of projects on GitHub is open-source and forkable, why would that need authorization?
It's... suspicious that China's doing it en masse, but there's nothing wrong in cloning or forking a repo last i heard.
It's not about authorization. They want to build a knowledge base for when the Great Firewall gets some more filters. Just like russias mirror of wikipedia which is heavily edited to discredit the west.
