Are German user's of Github somehow excluded from this global right to fork?
I was unaware that github mandated such a license, and was basing my previous assessment simply on copyright law. So indeed, if any public repo on github implicitly comes with that license, it seems forking the repository is permitted.
Note that this only means "use display and perform". It does not include a permission to change the code, so doing that in order to submit a PR requires an actual license beyond the github-implied one.
but I think best to reach out, no?
I was under the assumption that https://github.com/nickvsnetworking/pyhss/issues/143 from June 2023 and my more recent update on it would have been reaching out. In my world it's generally a no-go to send unsolicited personal e-mail to maintainers and alwys use the respective channel (issue tracker, mailing list, forum, whatever).
In any case, Nick has kindly responded to it here on the list, so let's hope the situation will be resolved soon.
