I have to expect that the TOS of Github supersedes default copyright, since you are intentionally uploading your files to the service. You have to agree to that

I have to expect that the TOS of Github supersedes default copyright, since you are intentionally uploading your files to the service. You have to agree to that TOS to do so, and that TOS forfeits presumed copyright assumptions for public repositories.
- justincormack 12y agoNo, it cannot legally do that.
- zanny 12y agoYou cannot willingly transfer information to a second party and agree to terms that make you partially forfeit copyright so they can enable others to see or modify the information you gave them? Then what the hell is every Facebook post ever that the company mines for personal information? Thats in their TOS, and you agree to it by posting to their service.
