The popular open source VPN maker is the second high-profile developer to say Microsoft locked his account without notifying him and is blocking their ability to send software updates to users.
This wouldn’t fix the issue. Drivers need to be signed, otherwise they won’t run on Windows. Only Microsoft can sign them, it’s got nothing to do with where the code is stored. They simply can’t ship unsigned software.
It’s like you neither read the article, nor do you understand how software works.
I believe the issue is because both VeraCrypt and Wireguard use kernal level drivers which can’t run without signing, though they can be bypassed but that isn’t good for security.

But otherwise I agree, fuck Microsoft and GitHub.

Microsoft doesn’t believe in good security. That is why the gatekeep like this.
That’s a bit of a reach.
