Infrastructure Upgrades/Changes: Git(ea)

[Ambrose LI]

I don't feel there's anything wrong with Github's TOS (but if the new
TOS really is problematic I'd like to be corrected). It basically just
means they're interpreting "displaying copyrighted content on a
website" as a kind of derivative work, and therefore a license grant
is needed. Pretty much the same reason why all the big websites
include similar wording in their TOS.

I don't like such TOS's either, but I can understand where they're coming from.
