New Github pricing
https://github.blog/2020-04-14-github-is-now-free-for-teams/
TL;DR $4/month per user or free for many use cases.
Very interesting pricing model, seems like they are going to be more dependent on Actions to make their money. Not that actions is particularly expensive compared to CircleCI. Moving over would save us some money even without the $5 decrease.
The $5 decrease does make it more appealing though.

I feel that Microsoft is doing good on supporting more and more open source projects in the past few years.
My foray into finding suitable private repository hosting lead me from Github to Gitlab for a while and onto self hosted Gitea/Drone CI.
However, for some use cases, Github has been inter-connectivity and now with unlimited private repos and better free features, I might be swayed to use Github primary for some repo tooling (Terraform Cloud) and mirror to Gitea.
I agree but IMO it's in large part because they realize the big $$$ will come from Azure, and github is great for sales. (not saying this is a bad thing)
Soon it will be free for all, oh wait it pretty much is now, prem indeed.
It pretty much already was. I had a education account from when I worked at a uni and it's never expired (although I'm also a member of multiple teams as a paid collaborator, so they make money regardless).
Woolf disguised in a sheep skin. Be afraid when multi billion hyper corporation lowers price. They form habit and than bam, price increase.
I don't think that's the angle here. What they want is to broaden Microsoft's appeal - with the goal being push developers using GitHub to also use Azure. Azure is where the money is.
