It's not limited to open source, but commercial enterprises pay for GitHub's services, so at least there's some sort of service agreement. OSS depends upon GitHub's largesse (which is extensive). However, if GitHub changes its mind (deciding, for example to focus on selling code-editing software), or if something goes wrong with the commercial side, then OSS is left high and dry.
