On: “I'm wiping this repository away”

[chippy]

Github iirc will, if they have to take down the parent repo, take down all (automatically) forked ones

[tjbiddle → chippy]

This wasn't a DMCA complaint (Or whatever equivalent - if that's not correct) sent to Github though, this was sent directly to the author of the original repository. But point still stands - even if Github took it down, there are forks out there - the code will always exist.
