Who says I wasn't? And I know Github wasn't a non-profit. You make quite a number of assumptions with your statement.
The difference for me is that I was supporting Github (by paying) to be an independent company, warts and all. If their goal was to always sell specifically to Microsoft, I would have voiced many concerns very early on. I would much rather they had sold to Mozilla or another in the open source community.
- detaro 8y agoWho in the open source community could afford to buy them, once they took VC at 2 billion valuation? maybe Red Hat, but even that seems stretching it?
