Wouldn't this be a discrepancy? If something is GPL'ed and provided at
Github, why should somebody forking it, provide it via Github, too?
This would be an addition to the GPL. The GPL allows to fork a project
and to distribute it, without the restriction of being forced to
distribute it using Github. Right?
