Maybe I'm misunderstanding.. but are you saying GitHub, the corporate entity acquired by Microsoft for 7.8 billion dollars 6 years ago, is a champion of the free and open software movement and that needs some rando on the Internet to stand up for it?

People have lived through many cycles of Microsoft doing this shit. They don't deserve defending.
