Closed source applications are not something we ever want to run in
Fedora Infrastructure, we run all open source applications.
We don't drop or remove applications that choose to use non free tools
(like github) to develop their open source application. Partly because
IMHO it seems poor to try and dictate to projects we simply use
applications from how they work, and partly because it's a grey line.
But this is a project where Fedora *is* upstream!
One thing is the standards we require for being packaged in Fedora or used
in Fedora infrastructure. Another is what we expect from our *own* projects.
And there, requiring Fedora infrastructure to be used is very reasonable.
