>I want to take this opportunity to thank Keivan for his thoughtful approach to AppGet and working with us. We will be open sourcing our service code into our our WinGet repository on GitHub so that we can work together with Keivan and others to enable a better WinGet repository listing service.
Yeah, this feels very much like they're trying to spin what actually happened. All the more frustrating because the App-Get creator was incredibly understanding about everything. It wasn't the usual hn "[FAANG] stole our billion dollar idea and made it free" thing. From what I saw, he was actually quite happy that MS finally had a proper official package manager. He genuinely just wanted to have been involved in the discussion and credited for the obvious use of his ideas even though they clearly brain-raped him.
If this is their idea of giving him credit, I would think they should tell the story the way it really happened and apologize for their behavior. If they're not going to do that, they probably shouldn't even mention it because it's truly distracting me from learning about the merits of WinGet.
