There's nothing ironic, as since the GP said there is no risk associated with GitHub. Git fundamentally prevents vendor lock-in and tampering, and the project is open, so the US have no leverage and pose no threat at all here.

its not about leverage or threat, same as the office products, the french owned their docs at the end of the day, i thought it was about sovereignty and using french alternatives?

If you have the docs, but not the means to (legally) read and edit them, do you really own them?

When MS pulls services you are largely screwed.

When GitHub pulls services its a few hours downtime and a new provider.

U are so dumb, its not even worth arguing with you. How different is owning the docs than owning the source code? if u own the docs even if they pull their services you download them and idk use microsoft office or libreoffice u own the docs... Where is the logic in your comment? are u a bot?

You’re reasoning with a troll who doesn’t care about reason. Save your brainpower.
