Back in June, Microsoft announced plans to acquire GitHub for US$7.5 billion. As reported by Reuters, the EU will be ruling on Microsoft’s GitHub acquisition on October 19.
In an effort to quell any antitrust concerns, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has assured users that GitHub will continue to be an open platform and will remain compatible with public cloud services.
GitHub, the world’s largest code host with more than 28 million developers using its platform, is Microsoft’s largest takeover since the company bought LinkedIn for US$26 billion in 2016.
“Microsoft is a developer-first company, and by joining forces with GitHub we strengthen our commitment to developer freedom, openness and innovation,” Nadella said in a release announcing the deal in May.
