Which is it? These US megacorporations are respecting neither users’ privacy nor their freedom. Then on top is a proprietary license stating: “No Re-hosting: You may not host these Tools on other websites or public repositories” even if you wanted to host it locally or your own server.

Also not to be confused with PRISM Break <https://prism-break.org/>, an aggregated list of privacy-focused tools.

The key word here is 'public'... "No Re-hosting: You may not host these Tools on other websites or public repositories” You can host on a local network, modify to suit your needs, point to local libs if CDNs are a concern. Just don't make them Public. The latest versions will be available on Github if they are ever needed.

Doesn’t “host” imply “host for others”?
