It isn't a good marketing campaign. This is just going to scare a ton of projects off of GitHub. I also imagine a ton of private companies (e.g. Google, Apple) are going to be moving their repos elsewhere if they are already hosted on GitHub for fear of Microsoft looking at their private code, which they WILL do.

companies that get acquired are probably required to move their private repos off of github. open source projects in the process of open sourcing or using a private repo as a staging area for the open source code are ok
