An employee at EpicGames wants me to fill out this questionnaire to use my OSS

I just didn't respond. I don't particularly like Epic Games anyways, and it's honestly not worth my time, since they'll likely end up using my role or forking it anyways. I mean, that's why I slapped the MIT license on it!

I get around 50 unsolicited emails a day, many asking for help with my OSS projects, but rarely is there something as cookie-cutter as this that's not outright spam.

I wasn't outraged, more like bemused that they'd think an OSS maintainer for a small personal project would care to spend hours working on security documentation for a little project that's like 1 KB of code.

I'm glad for you to hear it was a "rational" response and you were really not interested. The fact the project was 1KB of code was also unknown of me be reading the tweets, and explain furthermore the reaction :)
