No matter what they say, no matter what you say, and no matter what reason itself says, it is eminently comedic that GitHub!!! would do a project that isn't plain open source.
As to why Atom, I'd bet this was something one or two senior guys just had an itch about, and they sold the project.
- unfunco 13y agoReally? The main source of revenue (GitHub.com) isn't open-source either, companies are free to promote open-source whilst being entirely closed and proprietary, GitHub releases almost everything freely, and encourages the same – there's no hypocrisy that I can see. There are some reasons that not everything is open-source here: http://tom.preston-werner.com/2011/11/22/open-source-everything.html http://tom.preston-werner.com/2011/11/22/open-source-everyth...
- swah 13y agoMaking it free and open source, with great GitHub support as well, would also be a good strategy :)
