What do you think will happen?
What advantage would any change bring for Microsoft?
(/torvalds/linux is not the upstream, btw)

I am expecting the owners of these sort of accounts to just move away. I am certainly not expecting MS to mess with the accounts in any way.
Another issue: Lets say I am a small business competing with MS on some very small niche market. Lets say all my code is on a private github repository. Would I stay on GitHub for a moment after this news? I mean I know these are separate companies (Microsoft and GitHub), but I still will be moving away right now.
A bit like if you're a bookshop running your online site on AWS.
The downside risk for Amazon messing with anything is greater than any benefit they could gain.
I mean, Microsoft has a kernel module upstreamed. It's not 1990 anymore.
