Introduction

GitHub used to be an open and free platform for everyone, but it has decided to restrict Iranian accounts from contributing and being part of the open-source ecosystem. Although we understand GitHub might make this decision under the pressure of US government, we were expecting more respectful action from GitHub.

GitHub restricted our access to private repositories suddenly, but at very least we wanted GitHub to warn us before limiting our access.
GitHub's team decided to take one step further and restrict us based on our Nationality no matter where we are living, while they were able to just restrict our IP addresses like other US-based companies.

Eventually, we are hoping that GitHub's team:

let us download our private repositories and also make them public (setting control).
change their restriction policies to not limiting users based on their Nationality.
announce their decision publicly and apologize for making this situation (like what slack did before in the same situation: https://slackhq.com/an-apology-and-an-update).
