Sure, I know a lot of projects have been on GH since before MS bought it, but they’ve owned it for quite a while now, so we really should be seeing better migration out by now, no?
Codeberg is nonprofit which seems more in the spirit of the Linux ecosystem overall. GH is for-profit…
Fair, but what about the Copilot-pockmarking? And they’re always one step away from a paywall… Why wait until it gets that bad versus at least duplicating elsewhere now?
All these projects for sure are cloned on multiple backups, if something happens and github is no longer viable it is a minimal effort to clone the source code and bug tracking and move it somewhere else. Serious projects will have contingenties in place for this, lesser projects will do what the big guys do
Worth noting that the Linux source is updated and collaborated with via email, not GitHub. The Linux repo on GitHub is a read-only mirror.
Aye, but that’s not true of the Linux OS’s based on it
Plenty of companies are quite happy to pay for github licenses
so why aren’t you volunteering your time and effort to help at least one project migrate, instead of just complaining they haven’t?
