The repository in question:

https://github.com/BullyWiiPlaza/Ghosts-WiiU-Mod-Injector

All it has is a README.md file and they want 8€ for anyone to use this app. I mean, sure, but why host something like this on github? Or am I missing something?

You don't have to pay for hosting if you possibly break github ToS and upload there.

Either:

  • There is a payment checker in the code
  • The uploader doesn't know how FOSS works

Or you don't know that there are methods to publish your code but not license it under a FOSS license.

The repo in question is simply using Github's bandwidth. Nothing wrong there.
