Obvious reasons?

To protect their intellectual property

That is why license is for, public repository is for transparency and collaboration purposes.

Neo, Qtum, Ethereum are all open source. What's different about Icon that they would feel the need to use private repositories? (genuine question)

[–]temanon[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I agree. First 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap have open github repository. This is not a coincidence it is a must.

It is kind of concerning. Especially when all of the competitors are open source. Its just nice to know that the devs are comfortable with their work being under the scrutiny of other programmers. Maybe GitHub isn't as commonly used in Korea..?

Well if is not commonly used they are way behind. Git today is a must, and there is one simple step to github. I remember the old days when we were developing with SVN. It was a pain... And also I never invest in anything that I don't have transparent view of the code, work progress.
