Afaik the copyright notice relates to TOS section A.8, F.4 and G.6 (IANAL). That is, everything related to the github site and infrastructure, not the user content. > No wonder I am seeing derogatory remarks all over about GitHub recently, > they are trying the same thing Yahoo tried 15 years ago, claiming > copyright on anything that passes thru their servers. As per TOS section F.1, they claim no ownership on your content. Actually, it looks like github has changed their TOS. Last time I checked they had that obnoxious clause(*) about requiring a perpetual non-revocable ...blabla... license to everything you uploaded into your project for being able to do advertising, including third party dependency shit. Now they are much more friendly and, on the surface, the TOS actually seems to be FLOSS compatible. (*) See f.ex. instructables' TOS section 3.b. -- Greetings Bertho (disclaimers are disclaimed) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
