Oooohhhhh, okay. Right! Now it makes sense, even though I'm probably late to the game. Buying Github and turning it into a some kind of app store -- or merging it with the existing Windows/MS app store -- is totally the kind of answer I'd expect from someone at Microsoft answering the question "How do we make money from open source projects at Github?" I had heard someone say "Insight into open source projects and their developers" as an answer -- which is clever! -- but I just don't have it in me to believe that MS would be that strategic with open source. It doesn't obviously lead to dollars, and MS isn't a long-game kind of company. Just to say it now, since I can hear the hate coming over the hill, by "long game" I mean "long game" like Chinese international policy.
