And you believe that makes them an "Open Source Company"
To me in order to be a Open Source company your primary product must itself be Open Source.
RedHat as an example... RHEL is open source
GitLab.. GitLab is open source
These are open source companies
Hiring a few devs for work on some side projects that are open source does not make one an Open Source Company
If they open GitHub Core then they can claim to be a open source company
- heartbreak 9y agoAaron Patterson, who I'll continue to use as an example, works full time on Rails while being paid by Github. Rails is not a side project for him. Also as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, Github has published plenty of open source software. Electron, Atom, resque, and updates to git itself.
- syshum 9y agoIt is a side project for the company, as are all the other projects you mentioned As I clearly stated, GitHub can not be a Open Source company simply because they hired some devs to work on Open Source Do you consider Microsoft to be a Open Source Company?
