Yeah, but you will notice none of those are GPL projects - and my point is OSS works as a business/support/development model even outside of "monetize on support model and force a level playing field with copyleft" (eg. RedHat) - for a large number of cases it makes sense/the incentives are right even with liberal licensing.

- shanselman 11y agoNot true. Microsoft commits to a number of GPLed software, not the least of which being libGIT2.
- moonchrome 11y agoYes this is true, I meant in the context of the stuff they are opensourcing with CoreCLR, Roslyn, LLILC, ASP.NET, TypeScript and stuff.
