that is an irrelevant case. a project that is breaking the law (youtube-dl project) will obviously be removed from anywhere on the internet. but this has nothing to do with bitcoin.
LoL, who decides what is "breaking the law" ? You don't understand this? Furthermore, you don't understand :
Some facts and figures of the project, to put the severity of this crime in perspective.
At 18 October 2020:
- issues: 3283 open, 18402 closed
- pull requests: 750 open, 3293 closed
- 17771 commits, 1077 releases, 765 contributors
765 contributors just got their hard work pissed on by a bunch of parasites.There will be consequences.
to answer your question, bitcoin is not hosted on github to need backing up. bitcoin is a protocol for a decentralized network.
each project implementing this protocol usually has multiple developers and many users. almost all developers have local backups and some of the users also create backups of their favorite projects. in case of any unexpected incident it wouldn't be hard to recover those projects.
but as far as i'm aware since there is no real "danger" there is no serious efforts.
I know that, thanks for the care, but how many commits, gits, comments, and co on github about Bitcoin core and all the related projects ?
THIS IS A MAJOR EVENT IN THE CRYPTO / OPEN SOFT WORLD...
and if you don't see it, nor can understand it, it means that you aren't forthcoming... may I ask you why?
