[Xastir] Thoughts on rumors of Github being "assimilated" by the evil empire of Redmond Washington...

[vk2tv]

Or the start of a new beginning as the Open Source fraternityfinds yet 
another way to keep grubby hands out of the free software world, just as 
its been doing for 25 years.

We've successfully defeated immoral attempts to shut us down in the past 
and we can do it again. When one door closes another opens.

Think positive!
