A paragraph has been added to the GitHub terms of service notifying users that if they offer a product or service that competes with GitHub, they either allow benchmarking or are prohibited from using GitHub. The change is aimed at countering third-party products or services that use GitHub and compete with GitHub, the rules of which explicitly prohibit comparative testing (anti-benchmarking). The description of the PR notes that GitHub itself does not prohibit other services from testing GitHub products and services for comparison with other products. The change is dated 31.10.2022/XNUMX/XNUMX, but was added to the site-policy repository just now.
Additionally, a change has been made to the GitHub rules to prohibit incentivizing action through the promise of rewards in the form of giveaways, cryptocurrencies, tokens, and credits.
