    Mozilla allegedly stands for a bunch of stuff that is be definition incompatible with hosting code on GitHub as it is.

    Your statement is fundamentally wrong on many levels, including the fact that it goes against the fundamental premise of FLOSS which is that “the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.”

      What is it in my statement that goes against that? Nothing. Just read Mozilla’s Manifesto and then tell me how hosting code on GitHub doesn’t go against Principle 2, 3, 4 and 7. Mozzila’s missing is “to ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all” and by pushing their code on Github they’re making it more popular, essentially perpetuating Microsoft’s dominant market position that is very likely to result in even more abuse, more ecosystems and less open solutions in the future. There’s no way to justify a company with Mozilla’s resources doing this.
