GitHub starts blocking developers in countries facing US trade sanctions (ZDNet)
ZDNet reports
on GitHub's blocking of users from Crimea and Iran.
"As GitHub notes on its page about US trade controls, US sanctions
apply to its online hosting service, GitHub.com, but its paid-for
on-premise software -- aimed at enterprise users -- may be an option for
users in those circumstances. It also claims to be in discussions with US
regulators about how to rectify the situation."
