GitHub clearly contributes a fair bit to open source - not only their own projects, but the free hosting for open source projects. You have no basis for this accusation, and frankly we are all stupider for having read it.
1 Claim was that Github is not a open source company, and they are not. Their core business is not open source, yes they have some side projects that are, but so does MS, I do not believe anyone is going to say MS is a "open source company"
the second claim I made is they are a threat to free software, I used free software here for a reason, free software and open source are different.
GitHub may support some Open Source things, they do NOT support free software.
Git hubs general actions over the years show they do not support free software at all, and have limited support for Open Source software.
They are classic Free Software leaches, using and abusing free software not for the ethical reasons around free software but to advance their profit center
See I am support free software for ethical reasons, not monetary reasons.
That is with out even getting into the MASSIVE issue that is having all of these open source projects on a SINGLE platform. Unless you think github is "too big to fail" which I can assure you it is not
