If you told me that MSFT championing OSS space ten years ago, I would have assumed that you were trolling.
With the acquisition of Github and NPM, MSFT might just be the new ally of the open source movement.
- qz2 6y agoAcquiring everything doesn't make it an ally, merely an owner or dictator of policy.
- krageon 6y agoBuying things up means monetising them aggressively (after all, that is what acquisition is for). This is the opposite of what an ally would do, it is an impending sign of corporate oppression. Give it a few years.
