Microsoft cannot be trusted.
They make fine products, but they are definitely looking to make money from this acquisition.
EDIT: This is to say that Github was not looking to squeeze their users. I have been squeezed by microsoft.
Who wouldn't?
Github has been underwater for years, would you rather it be propped up by a big corporate sponsor that can subsidize its losses, or run out of money and die?
I expect to move, because I also do not trust microsoft, but I am not moving yet until I see what they do with it.
This is not what I'm implying.

If you are too late, you might not get your projects off without paying fees.
Github wasn't a Robin Hood scheme. They were never giving their finger to the man. Their goal was to make a lot of money, failing that, sell for a lot of money. We are lucky Oracle didn't buy them at least.
Given how many employers/recruiters want to see a GitHub account, I expect to see a lot of future LinkedIn integration.
