GitHub is now free for teams.

which basically allows private repositories with unlimited collaborators.
I know the necessity of private repositories (for temporary projects, tests), and this might be the reason why Hive chose GitLab, which allows free private repositories with unlimited collaborators already.
But in fact, Hive project's GitLab is not even the one of GitLab, but privately hosted one, which can't be good for many reasons.
I hope 
ps. I don't have any strict preference over the two chains, and try my best to have objective opinions. This is also the one reason why I proposed the independent curation project https://peakd.com/proposals/89
Unfortunately, I'd become already very busy before the split, so my participation in either chain will be quite limited for a while. But as far as I've discovered so far, hosting the source code of the project on https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive which is privately owned, doesn't make sense to me to be honest. As I mentioned, I understand that it might be due to cost-saving. But now, GitHub is also free. Consider the change before it's too late.
Hope two chains bury the hatchet soon. Stay healthy and safe.
PS. maybe I was a bit ambiguous?
It's not about GitHub vs GitLab.
It's about https://gitlab.syncad.com vs (GitHub or GitLab)
