It's amazing that we're migrating all of open source into a single centralized proprietary basket - amazing in a slow motion trainwreck kind of a way.
After we already watched its predecessor Sourceforge fill opensource projects with malware too. One day we're going to look back on all this and laugh "well that was bloody stupid!"
Even Git was created to free the comunity from the commercial restritions of BitKeeper, and the first thing we've done with git is make it centralised and proprietary again.
(Granted the friendlier UI and social network layer is needed, and Github has done a fantastic job there, but holy cow does this feel like watching a trainwreck)
