Both quotes are from 2001.
So rather than a "couple of years ago", it was seventeen years ago.
Toddlers walking the earth at that time, are now college graduates and developers working at Microsoft. Let's not think its the exact same group of people who said both statements, even if the company name is unchanged.
There is also Gitea: https://gitea.io

I've never used Github for personal, closed-source projects, but if you have and want to switch to something that provides absolutely no features except git hosting, here are 3 I've used: - Keybase git: https://keybase.io/blog/encrypted-git-for-everyone (my preferred solution these days). - AWS CodeCommit: https://aws.amazon.com/codecommit/ ("encrypted", but I don't know if AWS employees can access it). - Dropbox git…
There's also (Fedora) Pagure, available hosted at https://pagure.io/ , and it can be self-hosted. Though it's not quite as painless as gitea/gogs. Example of a more active project: https://pagure.io/mlocate
Earlier quoted context omitted.
At least some of that rhetoric was directed at the GPL specifically. And in that sense, many people in the open source world feel similarly and avoid copyleft.
Do you honestly know anyone in the "open source world" who avoids GNU and Linux?
Honest question: Besides more traction among the open source community, where do you feel GitHub is stronger than GitLab? I’m not affiliated with GitLab, however a little biased because we’re using GitLab instead of GitHub at our company. Feature-wise, It seems to me that GitLab is running circles around GitHub. Curious about other opinions.
There's tons of search traffic going to GitHub issues.

Edit: down voted for answering the question asked? Good grief.
Why are people jumping ship to lower quality services ? And I'm talking about unrecognizable brand names, because at least migrating to Gitlab or Bitbucket may be understandable in a way, but still an exageration in my opinion.
I'm not sure how useful this comment is in that terse form... I've heard many voicing opinions that now is a good opportunity to jump to the superior Gitlab for reasons like self hosting if not for future proofing. Edit: OK, this was in response to your unedited comment

I was alive when Microsoft was evil and I don't want my stuff to stay in a Microsoft service. I moved my pulic repositories to GitLab today. It's slower and it doesn't looks as nice but it's ok. I self host my private repositories, no need of a third party service for that. By the way, Bitbucket looks a little better than GitLab but its usability is abysmal. I always have troubles finding the things I want in there.
Also what exactly is so bad about MS owning Github? The amount of conspiracy theory on HN is incredible.
