A paragraph has been added to the GitHub service terms of use, notifying users that if they offer a product or service that competes with GitHub, they either allow comparative testing or are prohibited from using GitHub. The change is aimed at countering the use of GitHub by competing third-party products or services that explicitly forbid comparative testing in their rules (anti-benchmarking). The PR description notes that GitHub itself does not prohibit other services from testing GitHub products and services for comparison with other products. The change is dated October 31, 2022, but was only added to the site-policy repository now.
Additionally, a change has been made to GitHub's rules prohibiting incentivizing actions through promises of rewards in the form of giveaways, cryptocurrency, tokens, and credits.
