- robzyb 9y ago> Ironic that the "hub for open-source projects" could become a walled garden if the latter happens. I would say that the irony occurred when the "hub for open-source projects" is a closed-source platform. (And I would say that as a paying user of Github that rather loves it.)
- stephenr 9y agoIt's different because GH take a cut of any sales via the Marketplace. People already pay anywhere from 3-10x more for GH than for alternatives like BitBucket. I'm sure plenty will just click on 'buy'.
