Sure, I know a lot of projects have been on GH since before MS bought it, but they’ve owned it for quite a while now, so we really should be seeing better migration out by now, no?
Codeberg is nonprofit which seems more in the spirit of the Linux ecosystem overall. GH is for-profit…
Arguably the biggest contributor to the Linux ecosystem is Red Hat, a for-profit company that offers its technologies to the Israeli military among other things. The biggest contributor to the Linux kernel is Red Har, while the second biggest is Meta. The Linux ecosystem is not inherently nonprofit!
Why do you make the argument that Red Hat is the biggest contributor?
Searching Linux contributor breakdown by organization puts them tied for 3rd at ~7%.

Don’t get me wrong. Intel leading the corporate contributions is worse. lol
In the first link, look at the parameters in the link. It is for last 365 days. If you take all time, it is Red Hat.
To be explicit: I don’t like Red Hat.
Wow I went to fact check that claim and it’s actually no exaggeration. Here is the AP article.
Crazy to see Palantir, Google, Microsoft mentioned alongside …Red Hat.
If it helps to explain it, Red Hat is owned by IBM.
No love lost for IBM but I still wouldn’t expect to see casually mentioned alongside Palantir.
Oh… shoot… TIL, thanks!
