Out of interest, what happens to Kawa's relationship with the FSF if it were to pick GitHub, would you have to stop calling it free software? The reasons given for why it's disapproved appear to be, 1) The GitHub website uses JavaScript that doesn't work in LibreJS, or that's it minified in some way to be considered "object code" by the FSF. 2) GitHub "might use some export control law" to block your repo. Regarding point 1), you don't need to use the GitHub website to contribute code, so that avoids you being subject to javascript you don't trust. You don't need to use the GitHub website to read code, or modify code. Regarding point 2), the github docs say "...[github.com] does not currently offer the ability to restrict repository access by country." you need to go "enterprise" for that ability, so that doesn't seem applicable to Kawa's situation either. TL;DR, I think GitHub is great, and it would be shame if we couldn't use it for the reasons above, or if I'm missing something. I'm not a lawyer :)
