> That there was nothing being given back. Out of curiosity: How much does keeping github afloat cost per anno? And not just afloat, but fast, reliable, secure and convenient. And now we factor in how many users github has, and how many of them use it for free. Hell, I'm sure more than a few companies use it for free. Microsoft is a corporation. Corporations want to make money. This is hardly a secret, and they can hardly be blamed for it. If people want to use a free offering of a company, well, then they have to be aware that the company in all likelyhood in some way benefits from that free offering as well. Because all that compute, all that bandwidth, all that storage, and all the people developing & maintaining it, don't come for free either. If I don't like it, I either have to use an alternative run by a different company, or setup my own git server.
