This is not a contradiction. We urge people not to host anything on
GitHub -- see https://www.gnu.org/software/repo-criteria-evaluation.html
-- but we do not reject packages simply for being hosted there.
Those are two different questions.
There are many computing practices we criticize or condenm, but we
don't react to them all with the greatest possible degree of
belligerence.
