With one command, you can copy years of work and gigabytes of code over to a new host, keeping nearly all the context, notes, information, mistakes, and jokes intact.
If you were to build your replacement using Git as a starting point, you’d still have a problem. That’s because Git is licensed under the, a particularly aggressive license used by open source software projects, which dictates that all downstream work must be shared openly under the same license.
