Microsoft made Office 365 and Teams free for six months [1], made it free to UK NHS staff during the outbreak[2], Teams usage is up 12 million users in a week[3]. At a normal price of $5/user/month, they've given a third of a billion dollars of stuff away.
But yeah, it would be more helpful in these trying times if the NHS had the sourcecode to BizSpark, DirectX, and Office Graph backend. :|
