Agreed. However, I smirked a bit when I read your comment, since this is ultimately coming from Microsoft. Let's hope some of this mentality seeps into other Microsoft projects

What would be the benefit for Microsoft in that case? - They are transforming themselves from a platform company based around windows, it a platform company based around Azure. GitHub is a relevant part there.

This doesn't mean they are only doing good™ with GitHub, but destroying it and open source vendors would be counted to their interests.

[arthurcolle]

Ah thanks, yeah. Familiar with the strategy, but didn't get the connection - been a long day over here
