Really? I just had a look and there's a long checklist. You have to supply a fairly detailed project description, so the core devs would have to agree to one before signing up. You have to list all your dependencies and assert that they are free too. You also have to check that all your files have a valid copyright notice, which is currently not true of most of our *.{h,hh} files. (Mind you, I got a laugh from their "I read carefully and won't check this" item.)
Oh sorry, should have checked more carefully...
I asked the local Linux Users Group for recommendations and bitbucket was mentioned. What do people think?
Terms of service: http://bitbucket.org/site/terms/
Note the clauses:
By submitting Content to Avantlumiere for inclusion on your Website, you grant Avantlumiere a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting your account or repository.
I guess the "solely for the purpose of displaying ..." clause makes that OK. They presumably want to be able to advertise the fact that they host Dillo without us claiming copyright infringement, which is fair enough.
Also:
Avantlumiere reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace any part of this Agreement. It is your responsibility to check this Agreement periodically for changes. Your continued use of or access to the Website following the posting of any changes to this Agreement constitutes acceptance of those changes.
That makes me nervous, but bitbucket is popular so I guess people trust them not to mess their customers around.
Argh, I really hate this stuff. I guess we really want an independent server/virtual machine somewhere just as we have at wearlab until now.
I'll set up a BitBucket repo if people agree.
Maybe creating just frequently updated copy there would help already? Regards, Johannes
