> This means that a16z and GitHub management are protected from a acquisition, and can retain control of GitHub.
I don't know what this means, exactly. Avoiding acquisition isn't like avoiding, say, snipers; you can just say no. Certainly acquisition is, for the moment, not feasible, but that's not exactly protection (it's actually the removal of an option). Protected from the need to be acquired, maybe?
I'm not trying to be pedantic; I'm honestly confused by the phrasing.
