Github is "public" in the same sense that a pub or a discoteque is "public": You are welcome as long as you comply with rules of the place. For a pub or a discoteque your dress might not fit their dresscode, or you may not consume enough of their sold beverages. For Github your choice of license might not fit their auto-licensing. > * github stimulates people to fork/make pull requests, this work is > public, and it increases people's social status, when they contribute > to the project on the public place, where it is noticeable by their > community. > > On the contrary, by keeping the separate, even public git tree, the > chances to be discovored and contributed to are much lower. I agree that Github is much more likely to to be discovered: It is called the network effect - and is totally separat from public/private: Your friendships are more likely to be discovered on Facebook which is a similarly "public" place. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
