Is it true that the Free Software Foundation has an account at
Github.com? That seems the case due to

https://github.com/freesoftwarefoundation

But there are no public repositories yet. I'm wondering---is the Free
Software Foundation okay with Github.com terms of service? Or perhaps
my question should be amplified---are there any arguments against
Github.com from the point of Free Software people?

I would guess that was created to prevent someone else to spoof
the FSF on github.

Also, github allows donations, so it could also be for
fundraising.
