OP here. If you own the copyright to a work, you can license it in any way you like. You can offer it to some people under a commercial license and to other people under an open so…

Kate Downing here. This is an excellent question. So, just like YouTube, GitHub would likely argue that they are protected by the DMCA and that so long as they comply with DMCA tak…
