Hi all,
I rarely use GitHub, but sometimes it is necessary to contribute to others' projects, and when I logged on today I noticed that yesterday (28th February) GitHub introduced a
new Terms of Service agreement.
This potentially could change GitHub's rating on the criteria, although I have had a brief look through and there is nothing that jumps out as being particularly bad. I'd appreciate if (and advise) that someone more experienced in these matters than me looks over them, to see if they might affect GitHub's rating.
One interesting thing I did note in the Terms is that GitHub has
licensed them under the Creative Commons Attribution license, which I find interesting (I know that there are reasons the FSF only permits verbatim copying of the GPL). This doesn't particularly affect the Terms themselves, but as they can now be modified it might help other services who are looking for help getting terms - I seem to remember that this was the case with NotABug as of May last year, although that issue has now been resolved.
