Polyfill.io was owned by the Financial Times web team, then moved under community management, and the last maintainer sold the project to a weird Chinese CDN company, and they moved it away from Fastly (the CDN / Edge compute platform running the OSS code for the service) and started to mess with the returned files.

Why Give Up GitHub?
- Copilot is a for-profit product. [...] Its AI model was trained exclusively with projects that were hosted on GitHub [...] Microsoft and GitHub have been ignoring these license requirements for more than a year
- GitHub has a for-profit software services contract with the USA Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
- While GitHub pretends to be pro-FOSS, their entire hosting site is, itself, proprietary and/or trade-secret software
- GitHub has long sought to discredit copyleft generally. Their various CEOs have often spoken loudly and negatively about copyleft [...] GitHub is wholly owned by Microsoft, a company whose executives have historically repeatedly attacked copyleft licensing
