<p dir="auto">There is no "danger" because git is distributed so everybody who has a copy of the repository has a full history and even if github disappears in a puff of smoke we can just push a copy somewhere else - there is already a copy at git.openstreetmap.org to start with.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I didn't know about that copy. I will check it out!</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I have absolutely no interest in political debates and prefer to spend my time on meaningful development than moving things around to meet some arbitrary definition of what is open.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I understand that.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">It's not like the public gitlab site is really open anyway as it has a number of non-free extensions and we don't have the time or capacity to run a self-hosted copy of the open source subset.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">You make a good point here (although GitLab's public site is still more open than GitHub).</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you for your work on OSM!</p>
