Summary: Microsoft’s GitHub, which is constantly shilled by the Linux Foundation, keeps censoring Free software while profiting from GPL violations; RMS turns 70 tomorrow and he would be wise to remind people to delete GitHub ASAP (he gives a talk the following day)

Updated: LWN has more: “It would appear that the ipmitool repository has been locked, and its maintainer suspended, by GitHub. This Hacker News conversation delves into the reason; evidently the developer was employed by a sanctioned Russian company. Ipmitool remains available and will, presumably, find a new home eventually” (see the comments, too)
