    Legacy I would say. Github used to be the first and the best.

    Now they are literally selling out work of open source developers with copilot, but their service is honestly good

      moving to gitlab won’t prevent this, your works still public on the internet

        Sure, but github should have released co-pilot open source. It became what it is by selling itself as the paladin of open source, it gained the open source community’s trust in this way. And now its reselling the result of that trust without redistributing it back. It is betraying the fundamental values that made github what it is. We all know it is Microsoft fault, like the recent red hat issues are IBM fault. Still pretty shameful

      I know this is the answer, but I’m sad when the answer is “because we’ve always done it that way”.
