<p>Dear developers and creators of Geany!</p>
<p>For GitHub, its darkest hour has come. It has been bought by the company<br>
that has stained reputation within the open-source community - Microsoft<br>
(<a href="https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2018/06/04/microsoft-github-empowering-developers/" rel="nofollow">https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2018/06/04/microsoft-github-empowering-developers/</a>).<br>
Yes, now this company spreads its motto "Microsoft Loves Open Source!"<br>
(<a href="https://open.microsoft.com/" rel="nofollow">https://open.microsoft.com/</a>), but its words have nothing to do with<br>
their deeds and has to be red as "Embrace, Extend and Extinguish"<br>
(<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish</a>).<br>
It uses its software patents to push free software developers<br>
(<a href="http://techrights.org/2016/03/10/charm-offensives-distract/" rel="nofollow">http://techrights.org/2016/03/10/charm-offensives-distract/</a>). Many<br>
projects that was involved to any collaboration with them, have been<br>
discontinued or brought to the state of unusability (Skype, Nokia,<br>
Linkedin etc). And Microsoft has already had its own code hosting -<br>
Codeplex (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CodePlex" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CodePlex</a>), that is the irony.<br>
It's not so difficult to assume that Github will share its fate. You can<br>
not reason with a tiger when your head is in his mouth.<br>
So, the best way now is not to wait of worsening situation, find an<br>
alternative (GitLab, BitBucket etc) and move this project to it. It's<br>
easier to avoid the problem than to solve it.</p>
