This is the final straw, evil Microsoft. Making private GitHub repos free? You've gone too far

Re: As ever

I contribute zilch, nada, zip to Linux or the various FOSS software I use. I am not the product

In the good old days you were the Beta tester, not so much now as it's much more stable. But, oh, back in those early RedHat boxed distributions of the late 90s/early 2000s boy were you ever testing if that shit even installed. It's (thankfully) come a long way whereby it's now my de-facto OS for testing new hardware builds.

I'd argue that for FOSS applications you often "pay for it" with the lack of support/patching/maintenance depending on the app, then Adobe went and proved they could do that better.
