[reply to beneroth regarding git-hosting so a bit off-topic for picolisp, just to quickly say...]

This sort of thing is why there was such a long-winded debate on debian-devel mailing-list about migrating to a git platform - but not to github, bitbucket, etc - not even to gitlab.com (uses non-free enterprise-gitlab). I'd always felt mixed about hosting F/LOSS on github (initially done as a shortcut around the time/cost of setting up self-hosting), so I stealth-migrated my repos to a few other platforms last year and then decided my real move would be to self-hosted gogs, and in light of this news I'll push that schedule rather than grokking github-legalese, so thanks. From what Thorsten says in one of those links, it seems there's only an issue for a github-hosted repo when commits are made after 1 March, which gives a little wiggle-room for now, and luckily git makes migration super-easy. -- Rowan Thorpe ---- "A riot is the language of the unheard." - Dr. Martin Luther King "There is a great difference between worry and concern.
