I'm not a genius. But, it was 2015 when Microsoft announced that, MS <3 Linux !!!
And said, it's own Linux distribution is on the way.
I never heard about it's release.
In that time I said, MS will move towards open source, because he realized that it's a winning and correct strategy for software distribution.
It didn't take long that MS aquired GitHub with 8M$.
His team foundation was a failure, he tried to get a good one.
But He also took control over all the source codes, and their histories.
It wasn't dangerous in my opinion, before I realized that due to one-sided US sanctions, repos of some nationalities (like Iranians) got dissactivated !!!
It's not the defenition of open source, as far as I know...
MS is a corporation, hence, it has to obey the government.
But open source belongs to no one.
These kind of investment might intended to bound the potential open source communities!!!
It is obvious that accepting these sort of money, without open access agreement is a horrible mistake that one can do. (We should learn from the story of GitHub)
In my opinion, when it's not clear what kind of right these investments brings for enterprises, ppl should stop contributing to them.
Maybe it's good idea to ask what Linus and Richard see in these movements!
