Github to be taken over by microsoft.

I am still not entirely sure if this is true or just a bad joke, but I fear it is true. So does a lot of other developers and researchers apparently.

only funny thing is this rendition of how someone believes the interface will look after microsoft takes over:

I usually do not post much about software development or politics. My blog is mainly for my creative projects, but sometimes something happens out there in the real world which impacts me and I feel I have to comment on.
I am a happy github user, and it pains me if microsoft takes over, for two reasons:

1: i Dont like large companys with near monopoly taken a larger bite of the market , since more monopoly means less competition and usually bad and overpriced products
2: I am fairly sure that the terms of use will change into something more like what microsofts other products have which will mean that either i get to pay or - i get to pay in some other way.

all in all bad news in my book.
