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.
