It's so peculiar that you - and some guy on twitter, apparently - are quoting a footnote to a FAQ on Treasury's OFAC information page as if that captures the entirety of an American company's obligations under the law. This is really obviously crazy, right? In any other, less political, context involving business law and liability the advice would be "talk to a lawyer."

I doubt GitHub or any org is changing their SOP based on my comment. But the mere existence of a scenario equivalent to the one in question in the operating guidelines suggest there is room fur sanity to prevail in the interpretation of the law.
