> " The freemium model of providing everything for free if your code is public " I actually prefer Bitbucket model of free private repos for tiny groups. I found myself with a lot of repos that I don't want to share until they are in a minimum quality state.

That model of Bitbucket came up AFTER Github established itself.

  True, and I also find it BETTER. It actually came when Atlassian bought out BitBucket[1]. I personally believe GitHub success is founded on git "winning" the DVCS wars, but I won't downplay the fact that they contributed to this.

    I think GitHub's role in the DVCS war is huge. Git got an early lead thanks to Linus Torvalds, but it was GitHub that let it ultimately steamroller Mercurial and the also-rans. GitHub was the war-winner because of Metcalfe's law - as soon as it had a 40% advantage in numbers, it had a two-fold advantage in value, and from there there was no going back from there.
