The number of very small teams  or individuals this encourages to start using github probably allows every organization who can&#x27;t afford this to leave and github to still increase the money they&#x27;re making. It seems like a good move based on my imagined profile of their user base. 1 million teens and young 20-somethings just decided they&#x27;ll give 7$ a month to github.<p>For bigger organizations, this is practically no money compared to other software they&#x27;re using. So they&#x27;ll just take the hit.<p>Sounds like the only customers being lost were those using github for no-commit users. Is that really a huge segment? If so they just need a special account status to fix this.<p>I think the question is why this took so long.
