I know the new Microsoft seems different (and I'm a fan), but I can't help but feel like we've seen this movie before.

Recall back when Internet Explorer was free and bundled with Windows, and there was a whole antitrust lawsuit over it by the Department of Justice. What was old is new again.

Is that really comparable? Github's competitors were already offering free private repo so it's only natural that they try and keep up with the market.

The lawsuit wasn’t because it was free. The lawsuit was because IE (a web browser with a weak market position) was bundled with Windows (an OS with a dominant, almost monopoly position).
