I'm no lawyer but I'm not sure that allowing others the ability to view and fork your repositories is the equivalent of granting them a real license to the code. I don't think the definition of fork implies much in the way of licensing, but I could be wrong.

I'm thinking that they are talking about forking within the GitHub infrastructure, which means having the same code in multiple locations within GitHub (as a copy). The licensing doesn't change when the code is forked.

I'm not saying that you can distribute the code or compiled code outside of GitHub. As I understand it (IANAL), it seems like you have the right to edit this repository on GitHub as long as it stays on GitHub and not redistribute it through any other avenues.

Edit: Someone mentioned that Justin uploaded this repository, and not NaturalMotion. If Justin doesn't already have the right to distribute this on GitHub, then the rights granted to you by the ToS probably don't apply.
