Do you think it just a GitHub or DMCA can close other repositories too?

Interesting but it doesn't surprise me. They have always fought third-party clients, but I wonder why since third-party users have to pay anyway for the service. We are actually doing them a favor.
I don't really believe this, but is does make one wonder. If folk pay after the free period what possible loss to the Co. in using whatever frontend?

Looks to me highly untrustworthy! 
More some kind of IPhone or Android version of the CIA/FBI/BKA-Trojan! That is activated within the icon somehow.
Are the typos within that message, that you received???

That message was used first talking about MSN messenger about 12 years ago. Afterwards some modified versions of it talking about other services (or the same) appeared every 3 years. It isn't called spam, it's called HOAX.
