Is it true that the Free Software Foundation has an account at
Github.com? That seems the case due to

https://github.com/freesoftwarefoundation

But there are no public repositories yet. I'm wondering---is the Free
Software Foundation okay with Github.com terms of service? Or perhaps
my question should be amplified---are there any arguments against
Github.com from the point of Free Software people?

<snip>

I would guess that was created to prevent someone else to spoof
the FSF on github.

Also, github allows donations, so it could also be for
fundraising.

Since it's empty, maybe they just created it as a 'blocker'
