Martin https://help.github.com/articles/github-terms-of-service/#d-user- generated-content :
"You own content you create, but you allow us certain rights to it, so
that we

your
content, and responsibility for it, and the rights you grant us are
limited to
those we need to provide the service. We have the right to remove content or close Accounts if we need to."
And this is not likely to change under Microsoft. CodePlex had similar language, as does BitBucket, GitLab, and pretty much any service that hosts creative content that isnt a social network (and even then, some of them do too.)

Something that may change is the way they treat Github accounts, after all, MS is very much a sales driven company.
But then there's always the possibility to move to Gitlab as alternative (hosted or run on PSF VMs), so I would worry too much.
Do note, however, that the value in Github is not so much with the products they have, but with the data. Their databases know more about IT developer than anyone else and given that Github is put under the AI umbrella in MS should tell us something :-)

That's true, but Microsoft has a lot of stakes in the
ecosystem.
For example, since it has its own CI service that it tries to
promote
(VSTS), is it in Microsoft's best interest to polish and
improve
integrations with other CI services?

It does spell uncertainty on the long term. While there is
no need to
worry for now, I think it gives a different colour to the
debate about
moving issues to Github.
I don't see how this *increases* the uncertainty. Surely if
GitHub had
remained independent there would have been be similar
concerns about how it
would make enough money to stay in business.
