This is the same company whose sales team celebrated their ICE contract with little American flag and eagle emoji (https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2019-10-31/github-ice-contract-defense https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2019-10-31...) and eventually decided to donate all their proceeds from the ICE contract (i.e., their motivation was helping ICE, not making money).
Everyone here lives under capitalism. Making money is fine. Saying "If you pay us, we'll take your money" is totally expected. But that's not what they're doing here.
