Yes, it’s indeed much more freedom-friendly than, say, GitLab, which is is one of those wretched websites, that are not even _readable¹_ without running ad-hoc nonfree software, yet ironically widely believed to be a better alternative. However, GitHub still imposes nonfree software on you at the moment of registration. Due to its nature — it’s a CAPTCHA, that is it designed to be unavoidable, there hardly any solution exists. - ¹ GitLab is actually even more miserable in that respect, than something like https://code.gov, which honestly shows you faceplate, informing you, that its developers were unable to create a proper web-interface. GitLab, on the other hand, presents an _incomplete_ page without any notice, basically lying to an unaware visitor.
