Whatever is developed, it needs to be easy or it won't be used by many. Many people on this forum are computer Jedi. Many Propeller users are Jedi in their fields, but are not computer Jedi. If education is a priority, students and many teachers are not computer Jedi. This is my take on a OBEX system.
1. Be able to browse/search and retrieve an object/program. Probably easiest task.
2. Be able to submit an object/program I wrote to the exchange. Harder task. Is it open for me to post? Post in quarantine? Submit and a moderator does the posting? SPAM filtering? Are there standards/guidelines for objects?
3. Edit an object I wrote.
4. Edit an object I didn't write. Who approves? I don't want to be responsible for bad edits to my code.
no...the stuff that doesnt include microsoft in its license
The stuff does not need to include "microsoft" in its license. You seem very concerned with the fact that microsoft owns github, but both github's terms of service and copyright law make it clear that the ownership of github.com has nothing to do with the ownership of code posted there. Microsoft cannot magically become the owner of code that's written by a third party. There must be an explicit contract giving that ownership to Microsoft, and no such contract exists (nor does github claim any such contract). If you believe otherwise, please point to some document supporting your case.
(I still don't think github is a good replacement for the OBEX, but that's another question entirely.)
if parallax can give it away...why cant microsoft....maybe they sell github for sxtrodinary profit to some billionaire becuase he was bored....they can...becuase parallax did
The law is clear that you own code you create, unless you sign a contract otherwise. If you don't believe me, though, then consider some github customers:
Those companies have very good lawyers, and have no reason to trust Microsoft (in fact they compete with Microsoft). They seem to be OK with github's terms of service.

china is gd at dumping stuff into a market and letting others build an infrastucture for free

if u knowingly put ur car in my garage...its mine
why wouldnt intel pay for this service...its how google works
the obex helped me alot...i stick with things that help me
i dont use microsaft anymore short of thier services that the web uses...if cars needed to upgrade like MS we would walk
MS was taken to court for monopoly...thats as rare as impeachment
bill gates could have funded git for a thousand years..but he tagged it with MS
in my opinion: its just a microsoft incubator
the best idea is the one that works...if its not patented...MS gets it patents it and makes miney off it
Things don't work like you are claiming, and the law even prevents much of it.

and many more.

google cant do an honest search anymore...duckduckgo does and ripped linux off to build android
ibm fired the honest people in favor of younger peiope under tighter contract
