" I will own responsibility for some of that as I spent a good part of my career at the Linux Foundation poking fun at Microsoft (which, at times, prior management made way too easy). But times have changed and it’s time to recognize that we have all grown up – the industry, the open source community, even me." What is this guy talking about? Maybe he's changed but Microsoft hasn't: they're still a company doing evil things on a large scale that simply sees more value (for them) increased FOSS support. I'll especially highlight the patent suits with them pulling billions of dollars from Android vendors despite them not contributing anything to Android. They were working on displacing it with Windows Phone. Yet, they use legal threats to pull hundreds of millions a year for their "inventions" on paper from those actually building things we want to buy. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2015/11/01/microsoft-android-patent-income/#74d9f7195c6c https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2015/11/01/microsoft... Both stevelord and I had a few more examples at the link below where we last discussed it: https://lobste.rs/s/zknzmj/microsoft_acquire_github_for_7_5_billion#c_yskzgz https://lobste.rs/s/zknzmj/microsoft_acquire_github_for_7_5_... EDIT: In case anyone wonders, I was hoping a company like Red Hat acquired them. One that is a bit less evil with more incentive to keep high investments in FOSS. Given the numbers involved, one can't hope for much more.
