If anything, it being on Github makes it impossible for them to claim ignorance about the license. If they scrape your code off your site, they’d have to actively add checks to look for the license.

They’d rather just use the “it’s probably as fine as every other piece of HTML” assumption they’re working with now.

VSCod(ium). Jetbrains IDEs are arguably better (I’ve used this some in the past), but I like OSS and having all languages in one IDE (even though some languages may not be integrated as well as others).

I’m not saying it’ll work. I don’t know if the app does anything that necessitates the higher version requirement. It may work perfectly, it may not work at all, or it may work with some things bugging out/crashing. All I’m saying is if you know how to patch your OS, rebuilding the app with a changed target is not going to be very difficult.

My bet is that as of today, recompiling the app with nothing changed except a reduced version requirement will probably work fine. However, over time as features are added or rewritten, it’ll get progressively harder to maintain that A7 patch.

If you patch your own OS, you can also build the app yourself with the lower target.
