Where exactly does what say actions need to be in private repos? I'm not finding it.

Edit: Seems like workflows can only be created in private repos [1],

but actions can be public [2].

Does this mean that Actions in general cannot be used for public open source projects? It seems like a lot of them could benefit from this.

Maybe they need a new category of paid but still public.

Might be a security thing rather than money?

Nope, it's about money.
