I recommend checking out https://community.frame.work/c/expansion-cards/developer-pro... and the associated github page.

The assumption that windows package manager does not permit opting out of telemetry seems to be wrong.
The whole issue is not stating how to opt out and someone assumed that it means it is not possible. However, based on the updated readme https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli#datatelemetry there was a way to opt-out from the beggining, just not documented.
Yes, it should have been clarified from the start, but I think it's positive the option was always there and they managed to clarify how to opt-out in mere 7 hours.
As always with open source projects, it might be a good idea to move it away from GitHub?
Could you please elaborate on to why?
My guess is that GDPR is not yet in effect thus they can use this to get consent in advance. After GDPR is in place these will be changed to comply with it.
And don't forget to turn on captions, as his commentary is there.
SciHub works.
There's written to check the package name and not to go through whole source code.
