Updates to GitHub Terms of Service
by GitHub
Updated Terms of Service and new Site Policy repository
------------------------------------------------------------
We're updating our Terms of Service (https://help.github.com/articles/github-terms-of-service/) and Corporate Terms of Service (https://help.github.com/articles/github-corporate-terms-of-service/). These revisions are the result of community feedback, along with clarifications and improvements to the readability of both documents. All changes are in separate pull requests in a new working repository, github/site-policy (https://github.com/github/site-policy). Here, you can view, comment, and suggest additional updates—or fork a copy to adapt for your own site.
Please submit your comments by 5:00 pm PST on Friday, July 28. After that, we’ll take a week to go through your comments and make changes to improve the Terms. The new Terms will become effective on Monday, August 7.
Pull requests welcome
------------------------------------------------------------
We welcome you to look over our changes and share your input using the new Site Policy repository. Please follow our Contributor Guidelines (https://github.com/github/site-policy/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) , and let us know if you see anything you think should be different—whether it’s a missed typo or a rule that might have implications we haven’t thought of.
