This isn't really the place to rehash the whole discussion of free speech vs. free beer: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw-en.html . Suffice to say the Gentoo Social Contract (https://www.gentoo.org/get-started/philosophy/social-contract.html#gentoo-is-and-will-remain-free-software) states: "Gentoo will never depend upon a piece of software or metadata unless it conforms to the GNU General Public License, the GNU Lesser General Public License, the Creative Commons - Attribution/Share Alike or some other license approved by the Open Source Initiative"; which GitHub does not conform to: https://www.gnu.org/software/repo-criteria-evaluation.html#GitHub . Further reading (linked from gnu.org) at https://sanctum.geek.nz/why-not-github.html , and of course we all know that Microsoft acquired GitHub, and of course Microsoft has a history of suing Free / Libre / Open Source Software creators and users. Further discussion belongs on a different list, but the link provided by mgorny and repeated by you does not allow collaborating in compliance with the Gentoo Social Contract. -A >> -A >> >>
