GitHub starts blocking developers in countries facing US trade sanctions (ZDNet)

ZDNet reports on GitHub's blocking of users from Crimea and Iran. "As GitHub notes on its page about US trade controls, US sanctions apply to its online hosting service, GitHub.com, but its paid-for on-premise software -- aimed at enterprise users -- may be an option for users in those circumstances. It also claims to be in discussions with US regulators about how to rectify the situation."
