Individuals have every right to dictate who can use assets that belong to them. It's called property rights, and yes, it involves protecting your rightful possessions.

Yes, Core have every right to dictate who can use their github.  It's their property.  But that's the extent of their ownership.  If they want to have property rights over the code itself, they would need to release it under a different licence and have one of those EULA agreements no one ever reads, stating the software is their exclusive property and users don't have the right to modify or distribute it.  But that's not the case, so stop arguing that they own the code when they clearly don't.  You're the one descending into nonsense if you think users aren't free to modify and run whatever code they choose.
