This is then probably better as a wiki, but I do understand why people choose github repositories for the curated nature of them.

I personally think the best way to do open source is to do it as a hobby, and not hope for profits off of it. Open source is fundamentally programmers taking control of their field’s means of production, and the last thing I want to see is corporations co-opting that moreso than they have.

This is the main reason everything I release is AGPL unless there is a strong reason against it: Corporations won’t use it.
