That's a "Standing up to the bully adds character" argument. I prefer to foster a culture that didn't have the bullies.

- JustUhThought 10y agoMicrosoft standing up to a bully..? My god, what is this world I'm in.
- codesterling 10y agoThat's not Bill Gates they are messaging, it's developers like you and I just doing their job.
- JustUhThought 10y agoYeahhhh, because developers like you and me are assigned the IP... Nope. We take a home paycheck but relinquish the IP to MS. What you're suggesting is tantamount to Walmart employees taking offense to Kmart for copying "everyday low prices". Sure, a real live human being came up with that tagline, but do you think Kmart or Walmart send them checks every month for the benefit derived for the now famous line? The open source world is different. In many cases individuals do maintain ownership of their IP. And when they don't, often it is held by a trustee for the benefit of the community.
