The GNU project has already done a comparison of various repository projects[1]. GitHub and SourceForge both get an F, while GitLab gets a C (the lowest passing grade) with GNU Savannah getting an A (which is the second highest). And, in keeping with the FSFs view on software freedom, the server code actually doesn't need to be free (though it is considered a negative and will prevent a service from getting an A rating). However they _do_ require that the site must be possible to use without any non-free JavaScript. Here is the full set of criteria that GitHub fails to fulfil to get a C rating: > Things that prevent GitHub from moving up to the next grade, C: > * Important site functionality does not work without running nonfree JavaScript. (C0) > * Specific information may not be available in all countries; see roskomnadzor and export controls for more details. (C2) That's it.
