GitHub project vs Product

Pretty new to the software industry and was curious at what point is software a GitHub project, or a product sold to users?

Essentially, how do I know/convince myself a product has a monetary value?

    "you don't have a product till you have users and you don't have a business till there are paying users"

      Gotcha. After I made the post, I decided I would try and throw it out there. If people buy, it has value right?

    Github is a "Directory" of open source projects. its just a code.

    A product contains code, but it has a lot more to it (sales, marketing, SEO and so on). If you think you can sell the whole package, don't mess with Github.

      Insightful, thank you for the contribution.
