no, it doesn't prove that. GitHub is twice the size of Gitlab if you look at employees. Loomio is two orders of magnitude smaller than GitHub. eye-balling the picture, Wire is about an order of magnitude smaller than Gitlab.
I am not saying your theory is wrong, but there are so many other reasons GitHub could have ran out of money.

plenty of #copyleft projects have died too. I think you way oversimplifying running a business

@musicman @strypey I don't know if #Github sold themselves because they were running out of money, but just a few years ago, freedom-focused projects that did not use GH because of its proprietary secret sauce faced a rushed move when a less-proprietary competitor called #Gitorious closed. Many of these other platforms were not well-known until that event.

@musicman @strypey@quitter.se This is just a data point to consider, not a comment on the argument's validity.

I had projects on gitorious. I think I just let them die. Or maybe I had forked them off of GitHub.
Yeah, I didn't want to argue that point.
