I would be as worried if it was AWS or Google.

Github should remain a neutral ground in my opinion.

No, Google code was a failed attempt at a code hosting service from Google.

They failed to make it attractive to other developers.

I don't remember the name, but MS tried for a year or two to create another competing hosting platform if I recall correctly, and they also failed.
