Not just open source, public domain. I also see that any pull request submitters must automatically agree to dedicate their work to the public domain for some of the repos I looked at.
That’s actually cool! Iceland goes even further, and publishes the code for all their digital government services on GitHub: https://github.com/island-is
We believe that software created by the government should be shared with the public, and we want to collaborate with civic-minded peers to make this happen.
There’s also the NSA’s Ghidra which is a competitor for the best open source application IMO. Previously the only tool for heavy-duty reverse engineering was IDA Pro, which is very expensive (and not open source, of course). The NSA has selfish incentives to have tools like this be open source - free training especially - but it’s still a very good thing.
I wish America had this mindset

I don’t know anything about reverse engineering but this seems like fills a void as you mentioned. Thanks for sharing. Is there a fork for Linux?
It works natively on Linux
