The Problem With Putting All the World's Code in GitHub

10 Jul 2015 • wired.com

In short, if GitHub as we know it went away, or under future financial pressures became an inferior version of itself, the world’s code will survive. Libraries didn’t end with Alexandria. The question is ultimately whether GitHub will find ways to stay true to its ideals while generating returns—or wind up the stuff of legend.

Ok, honestly a bit of a letdown (the article). The last paragraph kind of sums it up. If GitHub becomes evil it would suck but life will go on. No real suggestions or take always about what someone might do now to hedge their bets. I think I was expecting a bit more of a slant in that direction.
