Github has done a lot to move the conversation from free software to open source.

"Open source" is now this thing companies do. It's now a PR and marketing trick, or sometimes an attempt to get free labor selfishly.

It is no longer about user's rights and freedom. Github has been a huge part of the slow bleedout of the free software movement.

I think this is the true damage that the combination of Github and "open source" companies have done to the software ecosystem.

I would't call a decently working search a very specific need :). But kudos to GitHub for all they have done.

Github did not, in fact, help me change a front tire on my tractor! This is an outrage!
