People keep calling this "a PR stunt", but from a PR perspective, it seems they went about it in the least PR way possible.

No announcement, no press blast (big orgs have press contacts that they feed big story tips to), they just quietly dropped a blog post and a link to the repo on a tuesday evening.

I get we really want to have some kind of negative framing here, but lets at least not lose track of the ground truth around it. In a parallel universe this was easily headline news that made it to water cooler chat the next day.
