Making it open source doesn't mean anybody could use it in a proper manner - I guess it's a ton of services which need a lot of setup and management as it's purposely build to support a few million repos and users.
- lucb1e 8y agoYes, but consider the scenario. Microsoft, acquiring a company, then open sourcing it, and still maintaining/building on it. If that happens, I'd be very much amazed and that would go a very long way towards making me stay (or, by then, move back). For me, open source is both practical and ideological.

Thus open sourcing GitHub will still tie it to Azure and I don't see Microsoft OpeSourcing much of their Azure services ;) (GitHub however open sourced stuff like Orchestrator to manage MySQL replication setups etc. which are key parts of their environment)
