@sweng But what else would "forking" mean? As you said "in the usual sense". This is the usual sense - making a copy of the repo on github = forking.

How did you come to the conclusion that this does not grant the permissions to fork? It's literally in the sentence. Where else did you find the definition of "forking", if not here? This is what Github defines in the TOS, this is the label on the button in github UI, so clearly this is also what winamp means when they forbid "forking" and that means it's against the TOS. There is no other "forking".

It's in the linked issue, spelled out alright:

> By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and "fork" your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies of Content from your repositories in repositories they control).

@sweng @BrikoX No, the TOS "just" says that by making the repo public you are granting all github users the right to fork it. So that right has already been granted.

@django until it's garbage-collected. All commits changed IDs, even the ones from yesterday.

@django I see a force-push 22 minutes ago, do you see a "removed it" commit in the history?

@theshatterstone54 @django

done, but be advised, it's 2.7GB

@Carighan But if one hammer uploads your browsing history to a server for commercial exploitation, then the choice matters. They will reach for a different hammer if they know.

Exactly, so let's keep talking about F-Droid and recommend it to the 95% of people, shall we?

@Zementid @101

Subscription fee? Is that a new thing? I've only been using OsmAnd from F-Droid, but I've been downloading maps for offline use without any subscription: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.osmand.plus/
