The controversy isn't black-and-white and I'm not sure why this letter is painting it that way. GitHub can be a major boon to open source and have core issues which make it incredibly frustrating to work with the service.

The dilemma is about the sum of the parts.

Completely agree, also this post makes it appear like GH did all it has done out of the goodness of their heart... Sure it's great what they did for OS but to pretend that wasn't rooted in making money is just ignorant.

The post is assuming nothing about the motivations, which anyone but founders can't but at most conjecture.
