Not disagreeing with you, but since the author is asking about GitHub… the XZ GitHub didn’t actually have any malicious code. Only the website tarbal did.
No, they invented mastodon. Which is the thing they’re adjusting.
They didn’t invent HTTP either, which they’re not claiming ownership of by using it in mastodon.
