Yes. But I'm under the impression the core issue is GH charging $10 p/m for CoP, not CoP itself. That is, taking what should be free and adding a price tag.

Or maybe I've misread the article?

Charging money for GPL'd software is explicitly allowed [1].

I suppose this is how e.g. Red Hat operates.

So then what exactly is the article objecting to? Sorry, I musta missed something.

The article does not; the comment I answered to, yes.
