[REPORT] Unauthorized distribution: nilupulk/claude-code-free

Unauthorized Repository

Repo: https://github.com/nilupulk/claude-code-free

What it does

• Distributes a modified version of Claude Code that bypasses Anthropic's authentication
• Proxies API calls through OpenRouter using a dummy API key (sk-ant-api03-dummy-key)
• Redirects ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to a local proxy on port 4000, which forwards to OpenRouter free models
• Explicitly circumvents the paid subscription model

Violations

• ToS violation: Bypasses Anthropic's licensing and authentication system
• IP concern: Distributes modified proprietary CLI code
• Misleading: Marketed as "Claude Code Free" but routes to non-Anthropic models through a proxy

Evidence

• README instructs users to set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:4000
• Uses fake Anthropic API key to satisfy CLI auth checks
• Disclaimer states "educational purposes only" as legal cover

This repo should be reviewed for DMCA takedown and/or GitHub abuse reporting.
