Did I read correctly ? Must I remove my GPL licensed code from Github ?

• majewsky 10y ago
  If it's all your code or code from other Github users, you're probably fine. The ToS constitutes an additional license agreement which you can make since you're the copyright holder of your own private creations. Of course, even if you don't infringe on other people's rights, there's also the question whether you're okay with these ToS.

  Nope, you don't have to overreact.

    But, thanks to the new ToS becoming effective immediately (as of 28½ hours ago), you do have to act. Basically, starting March 2017, uploading anything (new) like that is not allowed. Removing repositories and/or the entire user account, to make it explicit that such grants are not given for what’s already there, may be prudent (yes, overreacting is not necessary, but acting is, and don’t talk legal requirements down to overreacting, because if you DO upload a GPLv2’d work to Github as things are now, YOU lose the right to use it under the GPLv2 in the first place and CANNOT get it back except from the (all!) authors).

      No.
