devguy2on Tell HN: GitHub forcing 2FA on users has no basis in their ToS

Keyword: if. What little i do distribute to a few end users come from local builds through a completely separate system. The security level applied reflects this more than well.

To my (well-founded) knowledge nobody distributes my code; and if they did they'd have full responsibility. That's what "THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED 'AS IS'" means. You don't have to like it and you don't have to use it.

There really is no middle ground unless you develop a relation. Who says i can be trusted? Not me!
