I'm pretty sure our own infra wouldn't pass the C check, since we don't recommend GPL3+ specifically but do recommend other licenses (such as GPL2+). Gentoo itself is not endorsed as a free distribution on their site, because it packages non-free software (even if nothing non-free is installed by default or required) - and the same is true of Debian and just about any other linux distro you've heard of. Indeed, if github happens to not endorse any specific license at all it is possible that it would rate higher than we do on the Gnu scale. :) I think the only question is whether they have any non-free Javascript which is required for the site to function. For the most part I like their criteria, but their social contract is not quite the same as our own. That said, I'm interested in their findings all the same - hopefully they'll be specific about any concerns they raise. I suspect Javascript would be the main issue if there is one (I'm just referring to their grade of C - I doubt it would score higher). -- Rich
