You want to sue people for blocking ads? Did I read this correctly?

If you want to make proprietary software that's cool, but client-side JavaScript was a terrible choice. The cat is out of the bag.

There's a reason software for which you purchase a license key generally doesn't give you source code outside rock-solid legal agreements.

That is an extremely disingenuous and bad faith interpretation of what OP has said and I think you know it. You want to be edgy? Go comment on Reddit.

OP is rightly frustrated that their copyrighted work, that they’ve been working on full time for over a decade, is simply being ripped off by people and GitHub refuses to do anything about it.
