If this is true, I delete my account immediately.
The last thing I want is my code to fall into the hands of MS.

If you've used GPL then you have nothing to worry about.
80% of github projects here are hidden, inhouse trustworthy secret private projects! This is such horrible news!
Microsoft built its business by selling software products. If they had meddled with Fortune 500 companies running their business-critical information on top of Windows, Microsoft wouldn't be here now. There are situations to be wary of MS, but I don't think this is one.

So you put trustworthy, secret projects on GitHub instead of hosting them in-house?

Microsoft is not gonna give a fuck about your shitty little repos or anyones for that matter. What makes you think they are gonna put time and effort into mining people's code?
don't worry, I'm sure they've got backups
Fair enough. After all, they did ship a free web browser with their operating system, 24 years ago.
Some things you can just never forgive.
A shitty free browser developers still have to deal with today because enterprises refuse to fix their garbage in-house software..I'm not bitter at all.
