Apple no longer self-hosts their open source code and moved it all to GitHub

Should they now pay 30% of the App Store subscriptions to Github for hosting their infrastructure?

If that were GitHub’s terms for hosting the code, maybe this would make some kind of sense to ask. Otherwise it seems like comparing apples and a chip on your shoulder.

No because Github and the App Store/iOS/iPhone are two different business models.

I have a business that sells tomatoes in a can. It's very different than Walmart's business. Yet, I'd have to pay put my products in Walmart.

However, customers who bought their frying pan at Walmart can still buy their canned tomatoes from other stores.

Presumably Apple pays the fees GitHub have specified up-front, or they'd not use their services.

Isn't that how things work? A company provides something for a fee and potential customers decide if they're going to use said thing in exchange for said fee..?

you mean Github paying Apple 30% of what they make when Copilot use their code? :D
