Yeah but it's not like any of the authors of Git really made any money. The people behind Github, on the other hand, made a very nice business for themselves.

It's far from a given that if you develop Git, you can/will develop Github. I'm not making any value judgement here, just observing reality. But I do think it's better for society if people who create value are rewarded. To have a business have to both create value and capture a part of it.
