Yes, I've used github extensively from Cuba, including sympy  - I
haven't come across any restrictions.  Is it possible they were trying
to get to something on the Google code site?  You can't even get to
the web pages there, so it can be difficult to work out what you can't
see, if you see what I mean.

See you,
