I don't think we should be freaked out, GitHub is probably going to stay the way it is for free users and we might even have benefits like a free private repository.

The only issue I have is with all that Microsoft propaganda about trusting them. If they want really make people believe that they are a new company, more open source friendly, they should stop they patent troll machine.

They should stop making money with dodge patents and stop attacking Linux/Android open source projects with these patents.

Most of big companies buy patents, but not all of them are patent troll, some of them buy patents as a defense mechanism against patent trolls like Microsoft.
