It could likely make LilyPond an offer they could not refuse... The
last idea was to migrate the GoogleCode/Rietveld setup to Allura but due
to time constraints for setting up the own server structure (I think the
last problem was setting up a mail server) by volunteers with little
experience, it moved the issue tracker to SourceForge instead
"temporarily" where it has been stuck ever since, keeping the code
review on Rietveld, and using Savannah (as before) for its actual Git
repository.
Oh, and download via linuxaudio.org which has been shut down by now
since the LilyPond accounts had been compromised.

I am surprised people saw something different in github than it being
a buisness. If you want independence set up your own gitlab
servers. Linuxaudio.org would be a cool spot for it. I've just read on The Register that there are
discussions between
GitHub and Microsoft, with a possible buy-out by Microsoft. I really
can't think of a worse possibility :(
I can. A buyout by Oracle. Though Oracle tends to kill projects fast
enough not to take everyone's enthusiasm with them and so replacements
pop up. Microsoft tends to just sap all joy out and eventually people
don't know why they ever cared and are too tired to create something
new.
But basically that's what startups and venture capital are for: build a
business until it's large and robust convincing enough that one of the
established big players will pay big money in order to never hear of it
again.
