We are. My main point was that it's not worth it to disparage others because of their rule. Unless there's a contract or other legal clause, everyone is free to do whatever with their stuff. It's wholly a matter of trust. And I never trust any online service to be permanent in their behavior. I just enjoy it while it lasts.

> it's all of the other stuff that tends to get hosted together with the code (issue tracking, pull requests, releases, potentially even CI) that's a lot worse to have to migrate over. Plus, anywhere a link was published to the repo is going to point to something that no longer exists.

I think most of them provides API endpoint to access those data or some export tools. And as far as links go, I would prefer to have a webpage for any relevant projects, something like the one for msmtp [0], tied to my own domain.
