Re: Github=/=Microsoft

No one should ever trust Microsoft with any of their precious data. (Amazon is much the same).

They can and will use it for their own requirements. Why else did they buy GitHub? Out of the goodness of their heart naturally...

The day after that deal was announced I moved all my code off of GitHub. It will never be going back.

I am determined to remain uncontaminated by MS (I do accept that they contribute to Linux but they have to make their submissions GPL compliant) for as long as possible.

Downvote me all you like but while I have a choice NOT to use Azure or Github or Orifice then I will do that. The same goes for AWS. You are at their mercy as this article clearly shows. IF you step out of line, you are gone gone and gone. All that lovely work gone.
