That's actually not good enough and would mean if github stops serving,
your installation should spot it and go offline.

Would the owncloud copyright holders grant these extra permissions:

    * Developers need publish their modifications only (not the whole
application source code with all unusual libraries) as long as they link
back to the main source code repository.

    * The running application need not check if the source code is
currently on-line (so long as it is usually and can be requested).

?

Hope that helps,
