Making the source code open... 1. is not equal to making it open to collaboration. 2. does not mean they can’t keep making money from it.

Making the source code open...
1. is not equal to making it open to collaboration.
2. does not mean they can’t keep making money from it.
- snazz 6y agoWhat incentive do they have to keep it open, though? People who already needed to read the source code (like security researchers) don't need the complete unobfuscated source in the first place. It would likely cost GitHub money in frivolous support queries.
