The problem being that a minor volunteer who donates 4 hours of coding over the course of a year would now incur a $108 github bill for having that access. It&#x27;s totally out of proportion with how much they&#x27;re using the service.<p>Or say you have 80 very-part-time contributors who together match the output of 1 full-time employee, github is going to charge you as much as they would for 80 full-time employees.<p>Any pricing structure is going to have some people who get a great deal and other people who get screwed, but it sucks when you&#x27;ve selected a platform, invested in getting set up on it, and then have the pricing rug pulled out from under you.
