No, it really wasn't. Github is useful but also problematic for the
reasons that you give. Even aside from the ethical issues, the zero
pricetag option could disappear anytime.

But pull requests are not a feature of github only. They are just a
workflow and an easy to use one.

I'm not a real developer anyway. Check out my code, I'm sure you'd
agree.
