Do we have any good recommendations for an ethical git repository?

Framagit is in principle going to be de-activated as part of the #déframasoftisons policy; github is owned by Microsoft and has banned users based on geographical grounds (Iran/Crimea/Syria); I seem to remember gitlab also doing some bans; and I'm not sure about bitbucket.

Are there any long-term sustainable ethical git repositories for free-licensed software known?

@boud @switchingsoftware what "ethical" means? In your example, Microsoft is incorporated in the US, so they must comply with the sanctions. Similar, if Getmany would impose sanctions on a country, codeberg must comply. @codeberg@mastodon.technology is this correct?

@af @switchingsoftware @codeberg

I didn't define what code of ethics, but there are intellectual ethical norms that the free-software definition is motivated by, so I guess I mean something like consistent with the aims of the free-software definition.

AFAIK, the free software community has only had problems with the US blocking code distribution (e.g. Debian used to have a subset of files for "us-only" in the early 2000s, which US-based users were restricted to).
