William,

The GPL permits use code use under certain conditions.
It places the onus on code users to respect the licence.

Attempts at pre-emptive enforcement takes us down the 
route of (DRM) Digital Restrictions Management. That's
hardly in the spirit of the GPL. 

There are no good solutions. The least worst is 'no change'

Wherever our public repo is, it's public, so Github can 
help themselves anyway.
