Re:GitHub scraped your code. And they plan to charge you

All the people in this thread angry that GitHub is using MIT software in a way permitted by its license... depressing.
The MIT license doesn't require attribution for small snippets, only for full copies or substantial portions.

Maybe read the MIT license before you grab the pitchforks:
"The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all COPIES OR SUBSTANTIAL PORTIONS of the Software."
Reusing a snippet doesn't require reproducing the MIT license. People who publish MIT software know they're basically giving their code out with basically no strings attached.
However, GitHub should be careful with the GPL variety.

When you say you have no solutions for change-pass, what exactly is the stumbling block here.
As for RPC guidelines, they match the same guidelines you'd have writing a native API as a set of interfaces. You already know how that works. Just apply it. If I'm wrong, let me know what's the issue.
