If Microsoft decides to make GitHub free for all, this can honestly have a devastating affect on GitLab and Bitbucket. I really think Microsoft is a lot more interested in:
If you have more than 5 contributors, you can probably afford to spend $5/user/month If that isn't the case, then GitLab/Gogs/Gitea/etc. is probably the better route to go.
I'd be surprised if the announcement didn't also come with that change. Easiest way to even the field.
If Microsoft decides to make GitHub free for all, this can honestly have a devastating affect on GitLab and Bitbucket. I really think Microsoft is a lot more interested in:

- identify new product ideas
- identify ways to improve existing products
- create a funnel to existing products
Especially since Microsoft's own version control thing has this.
Well, sort of. It's limited to 5 contributors, which is kind of a big deal if you're on a serious team.

They do have free private repos for academic researchers already.
