Not really about disallowing amendments, but at least sending out a notice of the changing terms. Like you get with your privacy policy.
I'm pretty sure I didn't receive one about them using my public (although unpopular) open source code into their NN mixer.
Edit: Anyway a bit outside the point. It being, when your ever expanding set of services incorporate your ownership in ways unforseen when the agreement was made, opt-in would have been the agreeable aproach in my opinion. Even ignoring over the licensing woes, as that's something to be tested in courts with this lawsuit, and interesting to follow.
> you can't expect privacy when you're out in public
This isn't about privacy, it is about licensing (and possibly copyright). mhitza mentioned privacy as another policy, that you agree to upon sign-up like the terms of service, one for which updates are regularly announced.
> I'm also curious how you're certain your project was used?
Hasn't it been suggested that all public repositories at least could have been used? It makes sense to give the training pool as much information as possible.

The terms of service say you grant GitHub an implicit license to display your code. They also say:
"We may modify this agreement, but we will give you 30 days' notice of material changes."
Are you claiming that hasn't happened?
