Any project on github. Put yourself in the shoes of a user that doesn't want to donwnload source. He lands on a github project page and just gives up.
For a regular user (where "regular" depends on the type of software and the technical skill it requires), this is going way back to the days of source sharing on Usenet, way before the open-source term was mainstream (or even coined).
I agree, and to go further, even _if_ a non-developer did on github (maybe higher in the search rankings), for many popular projects you can generally find the consumer facing url via the "homepage" link.

Why would someone go to GitHub if they don't want to download source code?
Please, an example.
I agree, and to go further, even _if_ a non-developer did on github (maybe higher in the search rankings), for many popular projects you can generally find the consumer facing url via the "homepage" link.
Example: https://github.com/rack/rack homepage url points to http://rack.rubyforge.org/
https://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri => http://nokogiri.org/
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew => http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/
https://github.com/joyent/node => http://nodejs.org/
etc, etc.
It also seems fairly common to put the 'consumer' url near the top or bottom of the README.
