Interesting model for software distribution ($xx per month access paywall to source code, leveraging GitHub private repository). It's crossed my mind for smaller-scope projects.
Not sure if this will 'break the spirit' of GitHub and open source, but the next logical feature the GH team could do to accommodate this model more effectively would be to implement a "subscription button" users can click on to instantly get access. The fee is then tacked-on to the user's GH account (some of whom will already have their credit card on file), which is then distributed back to the repo owner less a small commission.
