I believe in FOSS a lot. So I have only one thing to watch out for, What will MS do to GitHub to endanger the FOSS community? Once I discover this, I'm out. Also if any of my favorite devs or projects move I'm out. If they change the color of GitHub I'm out. If they start with free coupons for private repos for a month,I'll stay for a month, then I'm out. A business needs to make money, buying an open source tool just means you want to monetize it some way.

I agree! They paid 7,5 G$ for business not for charity.
