Yes, I'm also positive on this point. Actually, such kind of scheme can
only play once, if Microsoft made it, then contributors will not trust
them anymore.
However, I'm a bit concern that Microsoft may destroy the faith of
contributors. Because if GitHub is down, people may thought FOSS is
failed on business, which is never true. And I'm trying to find better
business model for FOSS as an entrepreneur. I don't know, but I believe
I can find a better way to survive.


Best regards.
