Git is open source. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git
GitHub was just acquired by Microsoft. GitLab is an alternative to GitHub. GitBox is a service from Apache Infrastructure to coordinate replication of GitHub with internal copies of everything in the Apache space. If GitHub were to go away then nothing is lost and a switch to something like GitLab is possible.
