GitHub doesn't = open source community. Quite the opposite actually. It is a closed system designed to take open source software and put it behind a closed-source ecosystem, and apparently to moderate open source developers and taking away their individual freedoms.

How was Marak's individual freedom taken away? They locked his account temporarily (because what happens looked like somebody had stolen his credentials and impersonated him)... Then what happened?
His freedom to post what he wants in his repo does not extend to a freedom to screw users depending on the software he licensed for open source use working. GitHub and npm took steps to protect users from his malicious actions.
