The inability to select the text in SVG comes from <img> tag limitations. The following two ways of embedding SVG image into the webpage allows selecting text in both Webkit browsers and Firefox (in the latter via double-clicking and then right-click->Copy):
<object data="https://clojars.org/leiningen/latest-version.svg"; type="image/svg+xml"></object> <embed src="https://clojars.org/leiningen/latest-version.svg"; type="image/svg+xml" /> Unfortunately, Github supports neither of them in its READMEs/wikis. So it can be used only when you have direct access to page's HTML, for instance on your own website or Github Pages. Perhaps the inclusion of <embed> on Github might be lobbied someday, but I'm afraid not in the foreseeable future.
