Yes, I know. I referred to Github, not the other software. I like that Stumpwm is hosted at nongnu or gnu, whatever. Mailing list is open to everybody. But bug reporting on Github is not. I support free software. And often I support programmers with some money contributions. How can I appreciate the Github business model earning moneys on free software, while not making Github free software? Read: http://tom.preston-werner.com/2011/11/22/open-source-everything.html -- like "The GPL is not focused on freedom. It's too long. Too many restrictions", or "Notice that everything we keep closed has specific business value that could be compromised by giving it away to our competitors. -- source: Tom Preston-Werner's" from http://tom.preston-werner.com/2011/11/22/open-source-everything.html Here is one analysis of Github: https://mikegerwitz.com/about/githubbub Free software project shall not be on Github. There is Gitlab and there are many other possibilities. Finally, why not host oneself? Even VPS hosting today is so inexpensive.
