I don't know that this is an issue, but a change of terms associated with an essential service need to be checked with care.
According a blog entry posted on March 1 by Debian Developer Joey Hess, 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'll leave the full analysis to the > lawyers, but see Thorsten's analysis > <https://www.mirbsd.org/permalinks/wlog-10_e20170301-tg.htm#e20170301-tg_wlog-10> > . > Joey Hess's copy of the new Terms of Service, which can be read without agreeing to those terms <https://tmp.joeyh.name/github-tos.pdf> Thorsten Glaser's analysis was published on February 28. begins as follows: The new Terms of Service of GitHub became effective today, which is quite > problematic — there was a review phase, but the problems were not answered, > and, while the language is somewhat changed from the draft, they became > effective immediately. > Now, the new ToS are not so bad that one immediately must stop using their > service for disagreement, but it’s important that certain content may no > longer legally be pushed to GitHub. I’ll try to explain which is affected, > and why.
