> In the central irony, GitHub succeeded where SourceForge failed: they have convinced us to promote and even aid in the creation of a proprietary system that exploits FOSS. GitHub profits from those proprietary products.
> 
> Specifically, GitHub profits primarily from those who wish to use GitHub tools for in-house proprietary software development.
> 
> Giving up GitHub will require work, sacrifice and may take a long time, even for us: we at Software Freedom Conservancy historically self-hosted our primary Git repositories, but we did use GitHub as a mirror.
> 
> There are so many good reasons to give up on GitHub, and we list the major ones on our site.
> 
> In other words, GitHub's final position on Copilot is: if you disagree with GitHub about policy matters related to Copilot, then you don't deserve a reply from Microsoft or GitHub.
> 
> If you're ready to take on the challenge now and give up GitHub today, we note that CodeBerg and SourceHut are excellent options right now.
> 
> This harkens to long-standing problems with GitHub, and the central reason why we must together give up on GitHub.
