Do the undersigned send any money to github? It might be better to phrase your demand in the form of a question, "how much can we pay you to do this work for us?"
- hellofunk 11y agoGitHub is a service, not a contracted vendor for work. There's a big difference.

- dikaiosune 11y agoThey aren't a charity, but they have positioned themselves in that direction by targeting (and capturing) so many open source projects.
- hellofunk 11y agoYou'll have to explain why you think they are a charity, because I see no application of that term in a rational way.

- Zikes 11y agoGitHub got to where it is today thanks to the network effect that the undersigned helped create. If open source were to do a mass migration to another provider, many of the contributors whom are paying for private repositories and other features would most likely follow.
- rmchugh 11y agoGitHub's success is based on its community. Simple fairness says the community should be respected and listened to, simple business says if the community doesn't get something back, it will get pissed and go somewhere else.
- thekenwheeler 11y agoYes, I do. If it was OSS I would PR the feature personally.
- rahelzer 11y agoSo most of the above replies seem to be a threat. Give us free stuffs. You have a nice website there, be a shame if anything happened to it..... Seems like the Tony Soprano way of doing things.
