The story has a link to one of the GitHub repo clones.

I'd post it here, but I don't know what the rules for links are and I'm not trying to get banned.

We're cool here. Sidebar says no links to specific titles. But links to piracy sites are allowed I'm pretty sure. They have a whole wiki of them hosted by the mods.

Apparently the rules say you're not even allowed to ask for links. Whoopsie.
