Especially ridiculous considering they have a site, a very professional one, at that

It's a shameless and transparent marketing play.

People will click on a GitHub link.

This is manufactured hn clickbait. I've never flagged before but this one deserves it

I wish them well and the technology may be great, but trying to play hn like that is not welcome.

Lead dev of UL here, we didn't post the link, and our GitHub repo is def not clickbait (the top-level repo is just the packager and samples), 90% of our code is open-source under LGPL and available on GitHub [1], [2]. The product as a whole is under a proprietary, non-free license with provisions for usage in free software [3].

Thanks for the clarification!

Somebody just posted our top-level packager GitHub repo to HN instead of our website. (And hey thanks! I wrote that by hand a few months ago :))
