GitHub is a great place supporting collaboration to store repos at. It is better to have a repo under one's account than not having it in any cloud at all.

You might create a repo and agree with your collaborators to use it. Or create an organization to group projects and have a better control of contribution policies.
Source code openness and commercial/non-commercial nature are different matters. A project can be open source and yet commercial.

BTW, a repo can be moved to a different owner, to an organization for example.
