I see it as using a service that is free to us and rather good. It saves resources (e.g. the time spent managing svn.zope.org; the cost of bandwidth) that can be better spent elsewhere (e.g. working on Zope/CMF). It helps make it easier for others to contribute, because so many people already know how to use GitHub. > > GitHub Inc. is too successful. It already has too much power.

What's the worst that could happen? GitHub goes belly-up and we starting using a different remote in our repos? GitHub tries to violate the license terms of our software somehow (that seems very unlikely)? Martin
