“In the central irony, GitHub succeeded where SourceForge failed: they have convinced us to promote and even aid in the creation of a proprietary system that exploits FOSS.”
SourceForge went proprietary in 2001 and open source projects fled. GitHub is proprietary too, and open source made it the default anyway. GitHub earns from companies hosting closed code and points to free open source hosting as proof it’s one of the good guys. Conservancy asked about Copilot a year ago and got promises of answers that never came. Last week Copilot went on sale.
