oracle is the only comparison I can remotely relate to what this individual is talking about. But heres the issue:

- githubs customer isnt opensource projects, its closed source. The masses moving away is a good thing

- as dependency on github increases, the larger of a liability for bigger companies. Google needs java for android, walmart needs npm for its servers, github likely has projects that are depended upon by bigger names though we would never know

- start ups and new comers likely hear about github before anything else. It is usually at the top for SEO. As this trend continues, dependence will only increase.

- are you able to break from github? At the moment, my community is the js community. There is a lot of crappy things happening in it but I cant stop using github, npm nor node. These are essential and convienient for me. Even if I agreed politically, realistically my workflow cannot change without waisting time.

I believe Im a libertarian intelligent coding machine like the rest of you. But this doomsday scenario sounds more like prayers than accurate predictions

SourceForge was essential once, too.

The nature of git lets it migrate easily. (The rest of the infrastructure, not so much.)
