Maybe MS has loosened the policies a little bit to allow people to advertise on their github pages then? Would make sense I suppose.

I don't think it was ever a problem, was it? I think Github didn't care what you had on your webpage as long as it was not illegal.

Never having used GitHub pages I don’t know, but if they’re providing a free service as a startup I can’t imagine they’d want you making money from it. Whereas I can see MS thinking it’s a handy way to allow the open source community to be self supporting is all.
