# Terms of Service for sos!git
On this page rules specific to [StarOpenSource Git](https://git.staropensource.de)
are specified. These rules are based on the [General Terms of Service](/policies/tos/general)
and must be followed as well. Specific rules on this page may
override certain General ToS rules.

## §1 *Repository size limit*
Repositories may not be more than 256 MiB (268435456 bytes) in size.

Accidental violations may result in repository termination until the
problem has been resolved in some kind of fashion. Intentional violations
will result in the permanent and irreversible deactivation of all
accounts of the violating party on all of StarOpenSource's services.

## §2 *Disallowed issues or pull requests*
Off-topic, distracting, spam or useless issues or pull requests
are not allowed. These disrupt the development cycle and take up
precious developer and maintainer time for no good value.

Violations will first result in a warning, after that the
permanent and irreversible deactivation of all accounts of
the violating party on all of StarOpenSource's services.

## §3 *FOSS and OSI-/StarOpenSource-approved licenses*
Only completely free and open source software may be distributed on
StarOpenSource Git. These must be licensed under an OSI- or
StarOpenSource-approved license. All dependencies and runtimes the
program bundles and uses must be licensed under an allowed license
as well.

Wrappers and sandboxes are excluded, as they may wrap
around proprietary software and may be required for a software to
function in a safe way.

Accidental violations will not be punished as long as the affected
repository is cleaned of the problematic license, dependency or
runtime in the latest commit on all branches. Otherwise, it will be
counted as an intentional violations. These will result in the permanent
and irreversible deactivation  of all accounts of the violating party
on all of StarOpenSource's services.
