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

[Kurt]

I don't do anything but monitor the site and I bailed out.  I find it distasteful to sell-out though if the owners were doing it for 
family financial security, I'd be the first one to take the money and run.  Hence no vulgarity from me.Kurt KC9LDH
