Fortunately, the way git (the software used by github) is structured, it doesn't really need a server! git is a distributed source control system. that said, it does have? server mode that can quickly be setup anywhere on even a raspberry pi.?

If Microsoft makes any controversial move, I can see the repositories quickly move away from them. That said, I am not sure that they have the lee-way to do much in terms of changing licensing of the hosted repositories.

Corporations are not evil, they're indifferent. That makes them quite dangerous indeed. Microsoft hasn't changed all that much from their adopted philosophy of "embrace, extend and extinguish" since the 90's. If you do a little research, you'll find that most of the corporations have pretty much that same bias. If there's competition, eliminate it. If it's a small start-up, all the more so.

How's that Skype working for you?

I certainly would not change from Git. It is a standard that is not tied to GitHub.

I also have an account on BitBucket??BitBucket and GitHub both have free accounts. GitHub bases their paid accounts on the number of repositories, BitBucket on the number of users. Often companies I do consulting for have BitBucket accounts rather GitHub accounts. BitBucket seems to have features that bigger organizations like.?

Microsoft does not seem as evil as they were in the past, but as big companies start buying and consolidating things, and the internet just becomes more of an extension of your cable company and the entertainment industry, the shape of the open internet and open source could change over time. But, that is likely a long way off.

If GitHub becomes an undesirable place to host projects, other companies will will respond with new offerings.
