For years, I've been politely telling representatives & users of open source projects (Void Linux, many others) 'Hey, you might want to reconsider outsourcing your entire source code repos to GitHub, and consider instead deploying instead one of many actually open source, self-hosted workalikes such as GitLab.'
I'm betting they'll see nothing wrong with outsourcing to a proprietary-software firm run by people they don't know and have no reason to trust, based on this news. I'm glad it works for them.
