BRUSSELS (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators are set to approve Microsoft's $7.5 billion bid for coding website GitHub without demanding concessions, two people familiar with the matter said on Monday.

Microsoft announced the deal in June, its largest acquisition since it bought LinkedIn for $26 billion in 2016. The GitHub deal is expected to boost the U.S. software giant's cloud computing business and challenge market leader Amazon.
