New GitHub Terms of Service require removing many open-source works
IAAL.  My reading of the article and the terms of service strongly suggest that the author of this article is not well informed on the subject.<p>For example, my informal and cursory analysis of the article:<p>&gt; Section D.7 requires the person uploading content to waive any and all attribution rights.<p>It does not.  The Github license requires a waiver of the requirement of attribution insofar as such waiver is needed for Github to do what it already does e.g. as the license indicates, provide search results without attribution.<p>Further, only Github has been given this waiver.  Anyone else is still held to any requirement of attribution.<p>&gt; section D.5 requires ... the right to “reproduce your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub&#x27;s functionality”, with no further restructions attached; this is a killer for, I believe, any and all licences falling into the “copyleft” category<p>While D.5 does permit performing, using, and displaying of a work, it permits reproducing on GitHub only.  Any copying from GitHub not granted by way of another license would be a violation of the author&#x27;s copyright.<p>Use, performance, or displaying in the absence of a right to reproduce strikes me as a rather narrow set of rights.<p>I stand to be corrected, but I see nothing sinister, nefarious, or unwarranted by GitHub.<p>YMMV. If you need legal advice, retain a lawyer.
