[SM] Where should I host the source code for Super Munchtroid?

Since I'm nearly ready to release Super Munchtroid, I'm curious to know where the source for SMILE is currently hosted.  I can sort out a nice place for the executable on here hopefully but I'm equally keen to make the source available somewhere.  Also, since I read that SMILE is Open Source, I was gonna go down the line of https://opensource.org/licenses/NPOSL-3.0 and make it open source for non-profit only (Should put Nintendo's minds at rest should they take an interest.  Ultimately, this is a bucket of water compared to the ocean of change represented by SMILE; I figure they're more bothered about stuff that would "compete" with their products - hence their C&D on AM2R)

I don't know where the SMILE source is hosted, if at all, but I recommend using a git repository, such as github or bitbucket. That way everyone can keep track of the source code, and collaborations can be made.
Nintendo will not be too fussed - you are not distributing their material, after all.

I have a private git repository at this time.  While Smunch doesn't have any ROM source in it, I'm not sure it's a good idea to make the source public like that.  Then again ... JSM has an open repository... let me see where they host theirs.

I've found a license I'm happy with that should be ok; it basically stipulates that the code is ONLY open source; you can't use it to write something commercial.

[edit] nevermind, theirs is on github, they didn't even put a license :P I mean, I will, but that puts my mind at ease a little given you can kind of do most of what Smunch does in JSM.
