Actually, it's an ingenious way to control linux activity without attempting to buy out distros. Github wasn't just a place to put downloadable software; it was a centralized site for creation, collaboration, communication and review. And it was just as accessable for a single developer as it was for a large company that believed in open software. I'm not saying this in a tin hat sort of way, people will still work together to create new things. However, this changes things, if nothing else, where there will be multiple platforms to share, and as these platforms differ more and more from each other in the future, users will pick one over the other (or more likely, their distro will choose for them) and sharing will become more and more fragmented.
