git is open source. Github as in the repository hosting service is owned by Microsoft, a company for whom the phrase "for profit" isn't severe enough a description.

But it couldn't be easier to just set up a second remote, that isn't GitHub with just vanilla Git, if you don't trust Microsoft (Or even fully switching to a different remote). Why is there a need for something else in addition?
