This is a requirement by all US based companies. No exceptions, this includes github, googlecode, et al
Yes, yes, but... does it make it right?
Or is Bitcoin also bending over and let the US government do as he pleases?
EDIT: Why doesn't Bitcoin have it's own servers in a less restrictive country and hosts all the code themselves instead of relying in companies that have to follow US rulings, no matter how unfair they are?
Or will they just kill the project as soon as the US government says Bitcoin should die?
