...which is there was no DMCA in this situation. The title is wrong. They didn't file a DMCA claim.

…what? The repository [0] shows up as "unavailable due to DMCA takedown," and links to a notice [1] that explicitly references the DMCA.

That's because Github doesn't have a different message for non-DMCA threats of lawsuits. If you look at one of the other top-level comments, you'll see that they didn't actually get a DMCA takedown - but a threatening lawyers letter.
