+## I am Using GitHub Under Protest
+
+This project is currently hosted on my [personal
+forge](https://git.blob42.xyz/sp4ke/colmap) and mirrored on GitHub. This is not
+ideal; GitHub is a proprietary, trade-secret system that is not Free and Open
+Souce Software (FOSS).  I am deeply concerned about using a proprietary system
+like GitHub. If you want to contribute I encourage you to do so through the
+orignal repo and avoid Github.  I urge you to read about the [Give up
+GitHub](https://GiveUpGitHub.org) campaign from [the Software Freedom
+Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org) to understand some of the reasons why
+GitHub is not a good place to host FOSS projects.
+
+Any use of this project's code by GitHub Copilot, past or present, is done
+without our permission.  We do not consent to GitHub's use of this project's
+code in Copilot.
