I hope companies will also recognize that by actually open sourcing their stuff and be more careful, things will go better.
Of course the childish comments that seem to have been posted on github were probably not great, I think people should be respectful, so maybe the additional lesson here is that github, by trying hard to become a social network and not focusing on being a code host and issue tracker, succeeded in being a social network, with the whole package, attracting this kind of shitty behavior, and that's one more reason to avoid it now. You wouldn't upload your code on a social network, would you?
If you don't want cooperation or forks, a zip anywhere will do.
