That is simply not true. Please take your conspiracy theories elsewhere.

Apache maintains clones of all our GitHub org's repositories. GitHub has no leverage over our repositories. We have a fallback mechanism for contributors to push to our server, if they deny GitHub T&Cs.

Apache has the support of GitHub and Microsoft, from the CEOs of both, and through the organizations.

I don't think it's a conspiracy theory, these things happen all the time.

I'm very glad to hear of the fallback mechanism.
