So nothing changed with the source code or its licensing, only the location on github? That seems a bit inconsequential, tbh. Are there strings attached to the new location? If no, then move on.

Per post, being part of a GitHub Enterprise organization grants the GEO's owners control over any projects contained in that organization.

That's the change.

Thank you. That does seem consequential.

Yeah and is not wrong for the foundation and the projects. It is the absolute lack of community, communication and tone deafness.

You'd not say the same thing if the ownership of a domain changed hands quietly, in the background.

That would be worse though. This is like a subdomain changing hands quietly. E.g. you mypage.github.io.

There were also pull requests that were merged despite maintainers' objections to merging.

That didn't happen to me and there was a pretty comprehensive (IMHO) apology about that issue.

There are strings attached to the new location - the maintainers can (in theory) be kicked out of their own repositories.
