New GitHub Terms of Service

GitHub is updating its Terms of Service to address user feedback about clarity and understanding, aiming to make the terms less ambiguous and easier to read. Key changes include a clearer Acceptable Use Policy, an explicit license for content storage and serving, a default contributor license to reduce confusion about project contributions, and clarified rules for GitHub Pages and advertising. Users are encouraged to review the draft and provide feedback via a contact form, with a commenting period open until February 21, after which GitHub will consider the suggestions and finalize the new terms by February 28.
