         <h2>§ 1 What we provide</h2>
-        <div>(1) For Free and Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects, the Smederee provides various services like a public repository and version control system, wiki, and issue tracker hosting under certain terms and conditions. These services are referred to as &ldquo;service&rdquo;, &ldquo;hosting&rdquo; and &ldquo;platform&rdquo; in this document.</div>

         <h2>§ 2 Allowed Content &amp; Usage</h2>
         <div>(1) By using Smederee, you agree to adhere to the following rules when posting content (like repository contents, wiki articles, issue comments, etc.):

-            <li>Repository content shall be licensed under an open-source license approved by the Free Software Foundation (<a href="https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html">see list of the FSF</a>) or the Open Source Initiative (<a href="https://opensource.org/licenses/">see list of the OSI</a>).<br/>
-              Reasonable exceptions are to a very limited extent considered acceptable. For example, releasing single logo image files of a FLOSS project under no licence or a separate non-free licence that requires derivative works to use their own logo that is clearly distinguishable from the original work even in absence of trademark registration.</li>
-            <li>Private repositories are only allowed for things required for FLOSS projects, like storing secrets, team-internal discussions or hiding projects from the public until they&rsquo;re ready for usage and/or contribution. They are also allowed for really small &amp; personal stuff like your journal, config files, ideas or notes, but explicitly not as a personal cloud or media storage.</li>
+            <li>Repositories are explicitly not allowed as a personal cloud or media storage due to the related implications regarding size (storage space).</li>
             <li>Forks, migrations and testing repos are considered as inactive when they don&rsquo;t contain unique contributions and are inactive for more than a month. They shouldn&rsquo;t be kept for a prolonged amount of time, and thus might be removed after notifying maintainers and providing a 90 days period to ask for preservation.</li>
             <li>Repositories and attachments may not contain harmful code that can be run accidentally during normal development workflow and should use proper disclaimers and protections if applicable. Furthermore, software that is clearly written to do harm to other computers is only allowed in the context of security research or education and must be flagged accordingly.</li>
             <li>You must not share any content that&rsquo;s expressing hate or encouraging violence towards a person or group for any reason. We also <em>explicitly</em> do not tolerate:
