+<h2>GNU ethical repository criteria</h2>
+
+<p>We developed these criteria to judge services for hosting parts of
+the GNU operating system, but we recommend them to everyone that wants
+to use a service for publicly hosting free source code (and optionally
+executable programs too). The criteria emphasize protection of
+privacy, functionality without
+<a href="https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/freejs";>nonfree JavaScript</a>,
+compatibility with copyleft licensing and philosophy, and not
+rejecting any users.</p>
+
+<p>See the
+<a href="https://www.fsf.org/news/gnu-ethical-repo-criteria";>Free Software
Foundation's 2015 press release</a>
+to learn more about the criteria and the rationale behind
+them. Completed evaluations of major code-hosting sites are coming
+soon. If you have questions or suggestions, email
+<a href="mailto:address@hidden";>address@hidden</a>.
+You can also review the list's
+<a href="https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/repo-criteria-discuss";>public
archive</a>.</p>
+
+<p><em>Version 1.0</em></p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li id="F"><strong>F â Unacceptable</strong></li>
+
+ <li id="C"><strong>C â Acceptable hosting for a GNU package</strong></li>
+ <ul>
+ <li><p>All important site functionality thatâs enabled for use
+ with that package works correctly (though it need not look
+ as nice) in free browsers, including
+ <a href="/software/gnuzilla/">IceCat</a>,
+ without running any non-free software sent by the
+ site. <strong>(C0)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><p>Regarding sending code that runs on the JavaScript
+ platform, any such code used by an important site
+ function either (1) is free software, and labeled
+ properly for
+ <a href="/software/librejs/">LibreJS</a>
+ to recognize as free, or (2) isnât necessary, so that
+ the function works properly even if JavaScript is
+ disabled in the browser.</p>
+ <p>See <a href="/philosophy/javascript-trap.html">âThe JavaScript
Trapâ</a> for more explanation.</p>
+ <p>Note that free software must come with the real
+ source code. Minified JavaScript code, and code
+ generated by translation from some other language, are
+ not source code. They are a kind of object code.
+ <strong>(C0.0)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Regarding sending code that executes based on a
+ platform other than JavaScript, those conditions apply,
+ mutatis mutandis. In addition, a free implementation of
+ that platform, and a free program to check for free
+ licensing (comparable to LibreJS for JavaScript), must be
+ available for the principal GNU browser IceCat, and the
+ site must work adequately with them.</p>
+ <p>Using JavaScript code to interpret some other
+ language counts as using the JavaScript
+ platform. Translating another language into JavaScript
+ code and sending that JavaScript code also constitutes
+ use of the JavaScript platform. In the former case, free
+ JavaScript-platform code means that the interpreter and
+ the programs it interprets are free software. In the
+ latter case, free JavaScript-platform code means that
+ the code people maintain, which is input to the
+ translator, is free software; we also require that a
+ free translator exist which is adequate for the
+ translation job. <strong>(C0.1)</strong></p></li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <li><p>No other non-free software is required to use the
+ site (thus, no Flash). <strong>(C1)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Does not discriminate against classes of users, or
+ against any country. <strong>(C2)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Permits access via Tor (we consider this an important site
function). <strong>(C3)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>The site's terms of service contain no odious
+ conditions. <strong>(C4)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Recommends and encourages GPL 3-or-later licensing at
+ least as much as any other kind of licensing.
<strong>(C5)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Support HTTPS properly and securely, including the site's
+ certificates. <strong>(C6)</strong></p></li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <li id="B"><strong>B â Good enough to recommend</strong></li>
+ <ul>
+ <p>The above criteria, plus:</p>
+
+ <li><p>All code sent to the userâs browser must be free
+ software and labeled for LibreJS or other suitable free
+ automatic license analyzer, regardless of whether the site
+ functions when the user disables this code.
+ <strong>(B0)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Does not report visitors to other organizations; in
+ particular, no tracking tags in the pages. This means the
+ site must avoid most advertising networks.
+ <strong>(B1)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Does not encourage bad licensing practices (no
+ license, unclear licensing, GPL N only).
+ <strong>(B2)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Does not recommend non-free licenses for works of
+ practical use. <strong>(B3)</strong></p></li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <li id="A"><strong>A â Excellent</strong></li>
+ <ul>
+ <p>The above criteria, plus:</p>
+
+ <li><p>All important site functions work correctly (though may not
+ look as nice) when the user disables execution of JavaScript
+ and other code sent by the
+ site. <strong>(A0)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Server code released as free software.
<strong>(A1)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Encourages use of GPL 3-or-later as preferred option.
<strong>(A2)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Offers use of AGPL 3-or-later as an option.
<strong>(A3)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Does not permit non-free licenses (or lack of license) for
+ works for practical use. <strong>(A4)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Does not recommend services that
+ are <a

+ <strong>(A5)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Says "free software", not "open source."
<strong>(A6)</strong></p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Clearly endorses the Free Software Movement's ideas of freedom.
<strong>(A7)</strong></p></li>

GNU/Linux. <strong>(A8)</strong></p></li>
