That doesn't sound like a logical conclusion. Sure Github is one of the affected platforms, but code sharing platforms also include Free Software initiatives (eg. sourcehut) or even self-hosted instances of Gitlab, Gitea, etc. Free Software developers and users would all suffer from the directive if the exception for code sharing platforms hadn't be adopted. So lobbying towards that direction seems like a very meaningful (and successful) way for safeguarding the interests of the Free Software community. ~nikos _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion This mailing list is covered by the FSFE's Code of Conduct.
