But if most of those projects are open source ones then Microsoft (or
anyone else) would have had access to all that information anyway.
Owning GitHub does not seem to me to get them anything substantially new
as far open source projects are concerned.
You can't effectively crawl the whole GitHub using GutHub's API (have
you tried?). And you can't track all the changes and trends in real
time. Unless you own GitHub.

Microsoft paying billions for github and github is operating millions in
the red, this is a I hate linux move. In 2002 microsoft wanted to kill
linux, 4 years ago microsoft wanted to kill linux and today microsoft
wants to kill linux period. A killer is not logical and you should in
no way trust a killer no matter how sweet they may seem, just say NO!
People are meeting evil at a cross road here, for your own good just say no.
