While this obviously also applies equally to Apple, Google, etc., I'm curious: do you think it also is the case with companies like RedHat? The recent MongoDB announcement made me a bit more sensitive and aware of the orthogonality of interests, even in a company that produces OSS as it's core product (and monetizes services).
- Svoka 8y agoApple and Google didn't take over major OSS hub (some say, the OSS hub of today). This companies contribute a lot themselves, and have a long history of doing so. And yes, MongoDB ticked me too. I like way Microsoft is going, I just don't want to get hurt if suddenly their board/CEO decide to pursue opposite direction: won't even be first time for the company.
