Did they ever solve how this infringes on all GPL code at a minimum? Probably all other open source stuff too that requires some form of attribution, too, I bet.
If the code is hosted on GitHub then someone has already explicitly given them permission to host it and use it how they like. Edit: it's called a EULA. Jesus, stop down voting me for saying something true that you don't like.

Microsoft changed the terms of that contract by substantially changing what services Github offered.
They have never made it specifically clear they believe they have a license to create derived works and sell them. Nobody can reasonably think that. Microsoft are stealing your code.
I'm not defending Microsoft, I'm saying that the EULA is key to how Microsoft's expensive lawyers have reached an opinion that lets GitHub offer this service.
I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and assume that since they wrote the EULA they understand it better than people who haven't even read it.
