No that's not correct. D.7 conflicts with this: /* * This module is all original code * by Rob Nation * Copyright 1993, Robert Nation * You may use this code for any purpose, as long as the original * copyright remains in the source code and all documentation */ D.7 To the extent such an agreement is not enforceable by applicable law, you grant GitHub a nonexclusive, revocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to (1) use the Content without attribution strictly as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service; ... I don't see how this is fixable without either removing all of Rob's code or changing Github's terms and conditions. I see no problems between D.4 and D.5 and the GPL though.
