I wonder how much of a halo effect the enterprise contracts get from the open source community. People flock to github for their personal projects, and then recommend it at work when the need comes up because that is what people are familiar with.
I suspect the community is more of a golden goose than some people think. Kill the community and you'll kill the site. It's not like it's difficult to clone and upload a repository to some other site.
