Erm ... GitHub is entirely proprietary!?

I imagine the meaning is 'tool for doing open source', rather than 'tool that is open source'.
Which still doesn't really make sense?! Plenty of open source development happens outside of github, and plenty of proprietary software development does use github ... so if that is what you mean, you could essentially say that about any software that happens to be used by some developers for the development of open source software!?
