Github is a full-on game-changing company. They seem to be doing most everything right. By charging developers money to host non-free projects, they've aligned their interests with developers: their customers. This means you get a no-bullshit interface which is exactly what I want from my project hosting. I pray that google doesn't buy them.

From conversations I've had at their drink-ups, I get the sense they're pretty disinclined to sell the company, for reasons of personal freedom. Naturally, enough money will tend to push that sort of thing aside. I just don't think they're actively looking to get bought out, unlike some.
