The simple truth is that Microsoft is now making money out of open
source (and users of open source software). Thus killing or harming open
source no longer makes sense for Microsoft. Their revenue going forward
depends on playing nicely with open source.

Time will tell. I predict that they won't muck up GitHub. The fact is
that GitHub needed an investor or buyer and Microsoft has the cash to
prop it up. They could afford to support it even if it continues to make
a loss.
