  There was zero analysis in this article. Merely listing all the negative responses to the acquisition and some Microsoft/Github responses.

  Very unbiased. Like some ppl already stated: There is no human or human-constructed machine which can be without bias.

  The thing is that many people just don't trust those big entities anymore as we know for sure they do nothing without focusing on their biggest goals as globally operating companies: - maximize profits - make other companies and consumers depend on you / your products to force your own rules on them when they can't leave that easily anymore

  The fact that M$ tries to appear to be "open source friendly" feels like a strategy to soothe peoples anxieties. It's the same like Googles "don't be evil" - they aren't stupid and know that we [the ppl] watch their steps and react accordingly.

  Slightly OT, but I'm trying to make a point: Is any analysis of anything truly unbiased? I think it's fairly impossible to claim that.
