The impending sale of GitHub to Microsoft is another example of what happens when we fixate on #opensource IP but not equitable corporate ownership models. How *should* the repository of most free, open software projects be owned?
@ntnsndr yeah, definitely don't think it should be "owned". Would be really cool to see federated github hosting... like, git is decentralized. If there was a really nifty tool for like mass p2p hosting with strict checksums and repos you fork or clone (or decide to) can be relayed to folks on the network (that way everyone is contributing resources to hosting)
I like the idea of being able to host your own or pay someone to (but without giving so much power to a corporation or single entity)
