But unless you are giving your contractors a locked-down internet-disconnected laptop and physically locking them in an empty room, you need to trust that they aren't going to steal your code like that anyway.
Certainly. I---and some others, seemingly---was just saying that what Github does is not that much of an help (which is what seems to be meant at the thread root). The keyword is contractor here, as it should be the contract that protects you from theft &c. Though I'm not much knowledgeable about business, so maybe I'm failing to see how that's useful.
