not that mature — its name violates git’s trademark policy

This is a meaningless fact unless Git actually sues them for infringement. Failure to quickly sue can be seen as tacit approval.

Do github, gitea, and gitlab not?

i can't speak to gitea, but github and gitlab are explicitly mentioned as having a license in their policy:

> Please be aware that GitHub and GitLab are exceptions to this Policy because they are subject to explicit licensing arrangements that pre-date, and thus take precedence, over this Policy.

From gitea:

GIT is a trademark of Software Freedom Conservancy and our use of “gitea” is under license.
