I am very concerned that due to github relying on private repositories for revenue; it has been all too eager to comply with this very legally questionable take down request. Do we need an "open" github; that is truly on the side of open source software?

The "takedown" notice was issued to the owner of the nvd3 repository, not github. The owner of the owner of the repo decided to comply.
Please no. There are already numerous free options for hosting your own git repos, we don't need another.
What's so questionable about it?
