in no way. guthub is not a charity organisation, and they will not do
the things that aren't profitable. they spent 10 dollars to keep 100
repos working, they got 100 dollars from paying customer. win. where
did they get that customer from? one of the "free users" told his boss
about github and boss decided that it's easier to pay github than to
keep internal infrastructure.

strictly speaking, the most valuable thing githab has is their "free
users". the more people using github the better. so i can't understand
why people think that "kind people at github spending money to give us
free service". they spending money to get more money, no charity here.
