Remember that GitHub is not Git and it's proprietary software lock-in at the server side
Summary: There's no such thing as "free" drugs; GitHub is just looking for more users -- like drug users for Microsoft to perpetually control mentally and physically
"What we are trying to do is use our server control to do new protocols and lock out Sun and Oracle specifically"
--Bill Gates
