#### 4. License Grant to Us
We need the legal right to do things like host Your Content, publish it, and share it. You grant us and our legal successors the right to store, parse, and display Your Content, and make incidental copies as necessary to render the Website and provide the Service. This includes the right to do things like copy it to our database and make backups; show it to you and other users; parse it into a search index or otherwise analyze it on our servers; share it with other users; and perform it, in case Your Content is something like music or video.

This license does not grant GitHub the right to sell Your Content or otherwise distribute or use it outside of our provision of the Service.
This license does not grant GitHub any additional rights not expressly granted above unless granted by a [project license](/articles/adding-a-license-to-a-repository/#including-an-open-source-license-in-your-repository) or other terms and conditions applicable to your content.

The old line is also present in github-terms-of-service.md. I recommend keeping those two places in sync. This applies to the second hunk you alter as well.

I didn't expect this would necessarily be merged directly, rather taken as a suggestion to Github for future TOS updates. It would ultimately be up to Github where the 2 TOS need to align.

Ok. Thank you


#### 5. License Grant to Other Users
Any User-Generated Content you or your Users post publicly, including issues, comments, and contributions to other users' repositories, may be viewed by others. By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and "fork" your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies of Content from your repositories in repositories they control).

If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each user of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality (for example, through forking). You may grant further rights if you [adopt a license](/articles/adding-a-license-to-a-repository/#including-an-open-source-license-in-your-repository). If you are uploading Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring that the Content you upload is licensed under terms that grant these permissions to other GitHub users.
If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each user of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality (for example, through forking).

Except for the rights expressly granted by you to enable Github's functionality, and any additional rights you choose to grant by subjecting your content to a [project license](/articles/adding-a-license-to-a-repository/#including-an-open-source-license-in-your-repository), contributor license agreement or other terms and conditions applicable to your content, you grant no other rights to content under this Agreement or by law. If you are uploading Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring that the Content you upload is licensed under terms that grant these permissions to other GitHub users.

#### 6. Contributions Under Repository License
Whenever you make a contribution to a repository containing notice of a license, you license your contribution under the same terms, and you agree that you have the right to license your contribution under those terms. If you have a separate agreement to license your contributions under different terms, such as a contributor license agreement, that agreement will supersede.
