What they could more easily do, and what seems to fit with their strategy lately, is open source further portions of Windows 10. (MIT rather than GPL though, obviously) They are already way down the path (winUI, NET5, PowerShell, terminal, etc). I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see more of the bundled apps like Paint and Notepad show up on GitHub one day, for example. If they could get explorer.exe over to the open-source side, that would be huge. And I don’t think MS has anything to lose by doing that. It seems they’d mainly want to would protect the stuff that powers/differentiates Azure.
