For example, for Windows I have been thinking about a non-profit foundation founded by hardware vendors for example.

  I don't understand what you're talking about. A foundation to do what?
  • yuhong 11y ago
    To develop and support Windows obviously.

      Why not spend the same money to support free software? If you have the money and time to throw to Microsoft, which benefits no-one but Microsoft, why not give it to the free software community so everyone benefits?

        I know that actually making Windows open source would not be trivial. I am focusing on the freedom to distribute as a first step. And yes I know it is up to MS whether to actually do this too of course.
