  • github.com and free software foundation

    Is it true that the Free Software Foundation has an account at
    Github.com? That seems the case due to

    https://github.com/freesoftwarefoundation

    But there are no public repositories yet. I'm wondering---is the Free
    Software Foundation okay with Github.com terms of service? Or perhaps
    my question should be amplified---are there any arguments against
    Github.com from the point of Free Software people?

    I would guess that was created to prevent someone else to spoof
    the FSF on github.

    Also, github allows donations, so it could also be for
    fundraising.

    Since it's empty, maybe they just created it as a 'blocker'
