That's a really good question!
Has anyone here used the self-hosted version of GitHub Enterprise? Did they really reimplement git?
Edit: Apparently GitHub uses https://libgit2.org/ https://libgit2.org/ which is "GPLv2 with a Linking Exception" (equivalent to LGPL)
- woodruffw 5y agoMy understanding of GHE is that it uses libgit2 internally, which in turn has a linking exception in its license (just like GCC and glibc). It’s unlikely that they’re violating GPL in that particular way.
