I'd be surprised if the announcement didn't also come with that change. Easiest way to even the field.

If Microsoft decides to make GitHub free for all, this can honestly have a devastating affect on GitLab and Bitbucket. I really think Microsoft is a lot more interested in:

- capturing developer data for ML/AI research

- identify new product ideas

- identify ways to improve existing products

- create a funnel to existing products
