What do you think about this move? I always wondered about small projects going to sourcehub because this is something apparently legally enforced, hence what’s the difference moving from one American provider to another?
It seems to me like they’re handling this pretty well. Offereing a legal defence fund should provide incentive for small but legally risky projects to stay at GitHub. I think the recent trend of projects moving away from GitHub is motivated by ideological preferences for open source software (GitHub itself is largely closed source software) and a distrust of Microsoft, more than a particular concern about United States law.
