How long before they re-write the terms of service and corner developers into altering the licensing of FOSS? Little-by-little I fear they will eventually cause a major change. Expect the arguments to include fears about software security, espionage, hacking, cyber terrorism and so on. Authorities have long had it in for FOSS on such grounds.
This looks like a major coup by microshaft and one has to concede that they have played it well. I'm not aware of alternative services that can compare to GitHub so let's hope large companies like the various Linux distributions will begin to create an alternative and start leading a migration? Look here, - the Russian Fedora distribution uses GitHub right now -
WATCH how fast my DECENTRALIZED p2p FOSS GIT service takes off ;)
well you just earned my follow
Thanks for appreciating my concern! Unlike those who for some CRAZY reason think I am spreading FUD for caring that MICRO$HAFT is buying GitHub... They didn't get the name Micro$haft growing up not sueing people like this: Microsoft_vs._MikeRoweSoft ;)
