GitHub = MS, OpenAI = MS, so by transitivity OpenAI = GitHub (where = means "controlling or related interest").

I agree that the particular wording is not sufficient to specify much of anything, but does it sure doesn't shut the door on the possibility either.

OpenAI is not a subsidiary of Microsoft. GitHub is.

Unless you can meaningfully show that Microsoft is actively applying a subsidiary relationship (that is, where it directs OpenAI’s product direction), I have to disagree with your base notion.

At this point, I reiterate that your original claim is 100% FUD and disinformation.

I’m not asking you to trust GitHub or Microsoft, but legal terms have meaning and the terms do not support your assertions.
