If you haven't seen yet, Google announced that they will be closing

and that such code could be lost if not migrated to another service.
So if you have the time and know of a project that needs migration,
please do so. It is always sad to see open source code (no matter how
old) simply lost.
I was just about to start using it for something. Now I've got to
start looking for an acceptable alternative- preferably one that
operates by European rules rather than American ones.
What do you mean by this ? How would these rules differ ?
I wasn't aware that rules existed ? :)
Google, Sourceforge and most if not all US-located services operate
strictly according to US regulations and block access to Cuba, Iran and
so on... it wouldn't surprise me if Russia is back on the shitlist
before long. Irrespective of my feelings about those regimes, I'd be far
happier to use a service that operated according to European laws and
conventions.
