Why is your open source project still hosted on GitHub? (unixdigest.com)

Because none of the downsides listed in this article really matter for most projects. The fact that GitHub is owned by Microsoft doesn't magically give them rights over the code that they wouldn't have if it was hosted somewhere else.

Unless they share it against the license terms via copilot of course.

Otherwise, I agree with you.

What stops them from doing that with code hosted somewhere else as long as it's publicly accessible?

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

I guess that is up to those other places
