The existing code of Phabricator is open sourced under an Apache
licence afaik; so the big difference here is that if Phacility pulled
the nuclear option by changing their mind and going closed-source
wouldn't affect the code they already open-sourced; whereas if GitHub
decides to change policies or shutdown services, you are instantly
affected. Hence, it appears even more prudent to *short-term* refrain
from moving more towards GitHub at this point, and possibly start
looking for other options mid-term.
