Why? Cloning a repository doesn't improve the morality of downloading and viewing this code. In the same way that it is wrong to receive a stolen radio, you shouldn't touch this code with a 10 foot pole no matter how it's packaged.

As I said above, I realise it's a dubious request. I know it doesn't improve the morality either.
It's more for the sake of viewing the code. I associate those 2 brands with viewing/sharing code.

Sorry man, but that's just a huge pile of dumb bullshit. If the information is out there it's, as a thinking human, your duty to learn about it and improve your knowledge.
Information want to be free per definition. If some company fails to guard their precious secrets - well, game over for them.
Self censorship won't help anybody.
