I don't really see any serious issues with the new terms of service. As they say, when you upload some code to Github (or any other service or website), they are making a copy, and then more copies for backups. If the code is visible to other users, then they are distributing it to other users. If the code is searchable, then they are taking out and distributing little bits of it. Github needs a legal basis to do all these "obvious" things - and so would every hosting service. If LPPL requires the integrity of the author's source code, then it's not just incompatible with Github's ToS, its incompatible with all search engines that show snippets of results. Is there anything that they are asking for in the new ToS that they have not been already doing by running the website, and everyone being okay with when they upload code?
