But why would you publicly host code of closed-source software?
The point is that people who privately host projects on GitHub might expect to be able to do the same on a GitHub alternative.
Also, some people use GitHub for non-open-source projects with public code. (Remember, open-source has a specific meaning; merely publishing your code in public view does not make it open-source.)
This strengthens my point even more.
Unity publishes some source code for reference purposes only. It is not open source, just made public.
I don’t see any point that could be strengthened. All I see from you above is a question.
If you say so.
So mind telling us mere mortals what your point is, then?
Just asking why anyone would want to publicly host the repo for a closed source project isn’t a point – it’s just you not understanding the reasons for doing that, and just because you personally don’t understand something doesn’t mean there’s no valid reason to do it.
