This is the most bullshit DMCA takedown i've seen.

How is using web archive considered DMCA circumvention?

It's considered controversial 'oh shit' territory for Github and they made a quick and concise action based on fear rather than having a spine about it.

it is the (correct) github response to DMCA, then let the dispute process happen.

I don't own the repo, but i do hope the owners of the repo dispute it, because the takedown has no real leg to stand on.

Doesn't really matter. It's moved to a Russian Github clone, so YMMV: https://gitflic.ru/user/magnolia1234
