On GitHub and the GNU GPL #133

Closed lngns closed 2 years ago

lngns commented 2 years ago

GitHub is a capitalist enterprise whose members are openly hostile to GNU and Copyleft licences. GNU actively discourages people from using GitHub[1], and recent questionable handling of copyrighted material from GitHub led the FSF[2][3] and SFC[4] to urge people to migrate to other services. Today this is more of a software-related issue, but given the nature of your essays and your choice of GNU GPL, I believe you should consider migrating.
