most open source projects migrated to gh when they pledged it would always be free and open for open source...

now under new ownership they closed search and "pray they don't alter the terms further"

ps: also everyone here guessing wrong. Microsoft is an advertising company. requiring you profile for a service is self explanatory.

Is it really an advertising company?

Seems to be around 5pc revenue from a quick search.

Not that I want to defend Microsoft.
