[gopher] Gophernicus on Github

[Matt Lewandowsky]

No, Github uses open source but their software itself is not open source.

I use Gitlab for my personal and work projects (it's a self-hosted Github clone, and I think they have a cloud-hosted version now) because Github's not open source and Github Enterprise (self-hosted, and the only sane choice if you don't want your team to suffer from the random outages which plague Github) is prohibitively expensive if you're not a huge company. :(

Thankfully, there are a variety of options out there for source code repositories with enough choices in regards to "freedom" in its various guises that one should feel quite ok with choosing whichever one they feel is best for their code.

Also, thanks for putting the Gophernicus repo online for others to poke at. :)

P.S. I apologize for top posting. Phones aren't the best thing to use for inline replies. Also, I apologize for HTML mail (and that should be fixed any day, yay).

Good to know, thanks.

Personally I think gophernicus is great. But also, at a personal
level, I chose gitorious because it happens to be (from
https://gitorious.org/about):

"Gitorious provides open source infrastructure for hosting open source
projects that use Git."

I think this makes an important difference. I do not think github is
FLOSS as far as I know :)

Have a nice day!
