AFAICS you don't even have to: GitHub reserves the right to use uploaded code to "improve their services" (in some unspecified way). The GPL doesn't grant that right -- i.e. the right to grant Microsoft that right -- to any license holder, so anyone else but the copyright holder will infringe on their copyright by uploading it.

If you've ever uploaded, or are planning to ever upload, anything containing code written by anyone other than yourself under a FOSS license to GitHub, you probably ought to be interested.
