I'm surprised so many people ask this question. Isn't the intent of binpress to provide these code snippets/libraries/solutions at a cost?

Jared, We provide both free and paid components but for a different purpose from github (as outlined in the article).

We're also complementary to github since we allow developers to import their repositories to binpress and add a commercial layers on top of it.

Yea, I love the idea. I just don't see GitHub as it is today being all that similar. The comparison didn't come to mind. I think a response like this is typical from most people you mention your product or service to. The typical response is to compare it to a large product or service. I think you need to be aware of these large companies, but that in general this feedback isn't worth much.
