You mock those who desire freedom at your own risk. Github is microsoft now, and supporting it feeds the beast.
- detaro 8y agowas, not is. Sourceforge has changed hands since then.
- duxup 8y agoYeah my understanding is after it changed hands they did away with all the nasty stuff that happened in the past.

They're going to embrace, extend, extinguish all my open source software! I won't be free to develop software anymore! I'm quite happy with Microsoft, and if supporting GitHub "feeds the beast", then I'm likewise happy to see that beast well-fed.
