Github-EAR-boycott
The new Github Terms and Conditions enforces EAR on all Github users. This can be a great threat to the open source society as a whole, and I am prompting a boycott by preparing to migrate original open source work to other hosting services.
What is new about the terms and conditions
The new EAR terms and conditions as seen here publicly acknowleges GitHub as a US asset, and all users, regardless of where s/he actually comes from will need to comply to US export laws. Consider two non-American (very likely to include open-source in the future if this nonsense continues) developers needing the US government to judge their collaboration. I consider this detrimental to the international GitHub user community and sould NOT be embraced.
What we can do
GitHub of course offers very much irreplacable service in terms of stability and has a thriving community of developers at the moment. I am not prompting trying to "overthrow" GitHub, but to have a defensive position when things get worse. I am prompting to mirror and make preparations to migrate original work from GitHub in case things get out of hand, and even open-source repos need to be American-censored with all the nonsense going on.
