## Is it allowed to host non-free software?
Our mission is to support the development and creation of Free Software, thus we only allow those repos licensed under an OSI/FSF-approved license. For more details see [Licensing article](/getting-started/licensing). However, we sometimes tolerate repositories that aren't perfectly licensed and focus on spreading awareness on the topic of improper FLOSS licensing and it's issues.
## Why am i not allowed to set up an automatic mirror?
Automatically updated mirrors are of questionable value. They can be created easily and - as people tend to not delete their stuff when leaving - consume an increasing amount of resources (traffic, disk space) over time.
If you have the need you can create manual mirrors by adding multiple remotes to your local repository and push the changes to your mirror with `git push --mirror`.
