That cats been out of the bag for a *long* time. It's called: NT. "stolen", or not.
Unless you have a repo marked as private. Good luck discovering the IP stolen from that. Not an issue for FreeBSD you say, perhaps, embargos and pre-released dev code aside. Passed their SOC2 audit? Sadly, there are lots of ways around those. Expect an update in the terms of service and/or privacy statement before long. The resale value of the github analytics is the driving factor here. No different from Skype et al. Don't drink the cool-aid i.e., don't take sales and marketing efforts to paint this as an exclusively altruistic purchase at face value.
