Part of the app resides on the GitHub infrastructure, where GitHub stores, processes and displays results. So their costs are not zero.
But GitHub could take a “tax the rich” approach to pricing by charging enterprise customers more for self-hostingand leave it free for others.
A lot of open source is funded like that— most funding for a project comes from a very few companies and everything else uses it free or for very low donations or costs.
