Microsoft has had a vested interest in Git and Open-Source for a while now.
- JohnL4 8y agoIs the Open Invention Network still a thing? MS still hasn't joined, and is still using patents as a weapon, apparently. https://www.infoworld.com/article/3042699/open-source-tools/microsoft-loves-open-source-only-when-its-convenient.html https://www.infoworld.com/article/3042699/open-source-tools/...
- BigChiefSmokem 8y agoDoesn't the OIN secretly sell some of its patents to non-members and non-licensees? Sounds very strategic for the companies involved and this can lead to some serious consequences for any company who is targeted by an OIN patent.
- throwaway2048 8y agoany sources for this?
- throwaway2048 8y agoThe linux foundation is nothing better than a PR front, they have members like Allwinner and VMWare who straight up refuse to stop violating the GPL license of the linux kernel, and face no consequences.
- craftyguy 8y agoThe Linux Foundation is a joke organization that companies use to push their own agendas in the name of "linux and open source", when in reality very few members actually care about it. It's a 'badge of honor', nothing more. If you need further proof, observe that Oracle is on the list. There's not a company on Earth more hostile to FLOSS than Oracle. And yet there they are, and a "platinum" member at that. Lol.
