Sorry about that, usually Github Repositories ask for some way to
reproduce a bug so they can try and debug it. I had expected him to
have ran the binary in a VM. But like you said it might not be apparent
to the less experienced.

Looking back, that really did seem quite manipulative, worse with the
repository not even with a license. Thanks for spotting this out and
making me realize my mistake.

All the best,
