Re: @overunder - Who did not see this coming?
Exactly! How comes only free access to GitHub is subjected to US regulations ?
From the fine article:
Affected users were presented with a yellow warning message with little or no warning last week as access to private repos on the service were summarily blocked.
From one of the Friedman tweets in the fine article:
Public repos remain available to developers everywhere – open source repos are NOT affected.
While they do offer free private repositories this move affects both paid and free private repos.
To comply with US sanctions, we unfortunately had to implement new restrictions on private repos and paid accounts in Iran, Syria, and Crimea.
