Many [ausdroid.net] sites [engadget.com] report [techtree.com] about the reverse of the Qualcomm DMCA request — which affected even some of their own [github.com] repositories (the "qca" user stands for Qualcomm Atheros, a division of the very company whose IP its source code is alleged to infringe).
