Github is to git as Sourceforge is (used to be) to subversion, but with a better UI.

And yes, there have been concerns raised about what would happen if Github took a turn like Sourceforge, which usually get brought up when information about new shady practices at Sourceforge come up (or they get rehashed here).

Makes sense. I'm quite interested in seeing where it goes over time. I think it will depend a lot on the nature of the company. If it's VC-funded & aiming for acquisition, then there's a decent chance of Sourceforge history repeating. Otherwise, it might stick around as a beneficial ecosystem. Time will tell.
