Unfortunately, downvoting dissenting ideas/questions/opinions has become pretty much the norm on HN.
Anyway, our positions are not far off. I don't see the world as black and white. I can see the benefits of GitHub. It just struck me as odd that a software company that makes money from its proprietary software would say they're 'big fans' of open source since a major part of open source is the open source development model. I guess I have a different idea in mind when I hear "we're great fans of X" than others. /shrug
