The failure of the free software movement of totally removing closed-source software has resulted in the creation of GitHub and the 'open-source' crowd with the tech bros happily running along with that despite not learning anything about what happened to Sourceforge.
The only one that learned very quickly to take advantage of this was Microsoft that is buying the open-source ecosystem and offering the best tools for free. It's not only a clever pricing scam, but a form of EEE; that suffocates the likes of JetBrains which they have to increase prices themselves.
It is not early days anymore and this time GitHub is part of Microsoft and it tells us that it will be around for a long time. The tech bros cheering on GitHub and Microsoft will soon realise that neither of them are their friends and Microsoft is still at its Embrace, Extend and Extinguish ways.
