Answer 2

No, that's illogical. If you do not agree with the platform and its conditions, the most sensible option is to find another service.

Even people or organizations that have paid for one of Github's plans will not see that money. If some of them do not agree, I think the only thing they can receive is part of their money back, and that is at best.

To be honest, it seems to me that the reaction of the community in some points is exaggerated. Github is a company, and for a long time there were these kinds of rumors. And even many of the people who are migrating their projects to other platforms do so unjustifiably, since no one knows what changes there will be within the platform exactly. And another point to consider is whether the changes will affect ordinary users, since the Microsoft business model may be at the corporate level.
