Last Month Dr. Richard M. Stallman (RMS) Explained Why You Should Delete GitHub
Delete GitHub? Yes, please. RMS explained why.
It starts around 30:00 in the video below:
To quote:
One other point to mention, GitHub is not a good site to use. Most operations on GitHub require running non-Free software. I can't get much information out of the GitHub URL. I might be able to download and clone a repository if I wanted to study in that much detail which I never do. I never have time for that but to get the general information about the program, like what does it do, what is its license, what does it depend on, that's not easy to get. That's a very bad thing. Ingnu.org/software/repo-criteria-evaluation.html you can see our criteria for judging a repository site and our evaluations of various repository sites including GitHub. GitHub gets an F, and you can see exactly why. So please don't put your work on GitHub. Please put it somewhere else on a site that matches up to the criteria for a good and Freedom respecting repository.
