Post #3355043

GitHub has been around for nearly 2 decades and was largely considered a mostly good thing until maybe the past couple of years. In addition to people just generally being slow to change, changing can take quite a bit of effort for some projects for varying reasons. Many of those same projects struggle to keep up with the maintenance workload, so they’re not going to jump at the chance to add more work to their plates. Finally, some people just don’t care. For instance, the MIT license being popular is pretty hard evidence that FOSS doesn’t necessarily mean anti-corporate, and for many users GitHub still more or less does what it says on the tin. Though I will say if the service disruptions continue you’ll only see GitHub competitors grow. GitLab seems to be going after their enterprise customers with some success.
