Noticed this the other day, several users who appear to work for IBM have been pushing the Apache2 license onto users who have used a specific library. It appears automated and some of these repos haven't been worked on in years. Not sure what the end goal is for IBM to push this, but its very strange to see. It appears to be automated in some way because empty repos are even getting hit: https://github.com/B00TK1D/qiskit-playground/issues/1. You can see the full list here https://tinyurl.com/3ba4b6j4 where many repos are happily applying Apache2. Since Apache2 is pretty permissive doesn't this mean IBM can utilize these libraries as they see fit internally?
