I just stumbled over this quote on LWN:

"Github recently drafted an update to their Terms Of Service. The new TOS is potentially
very bad for copylefted Free Software. It potentially neuters it entirely, so GPL licensed
software hosted on Github has an implicit BSD-like license. [...]

I am deleting my repositories from Github at this time."

The qoute links to here:

I am not a lawyer, but I guess we should discuss if this has
any consequences for the GnuCash github repository.

  Herbert.
