Microslop does it again! But it will take much more than this for people to leave GitHub. Someone will have to start making private repositories public to show that GitHub can't be trusted for companies to leave. And someone will have to insert malware into GitHub releases from inside the system to make opensource people leave.

And even that wouldn't be enough for some of them, given SourceForge's continued existence.

You're unfortunately right. Some people just have picked a side and won't budge.

What if it's private, but used as training data for copilot, and can only be accessed publicly through prompt injection?
