- wincy 5y agoI mean Microsoft does own GitHub so I guess they can do whatever they want with their GitHub repos.
- paavohtl 5y agoThere is no requirement for anyone to use an open source license or even to have source code in a GitHub repository. It is of course expected by most people, but this is not a special privilege only granted to Microsoft.
- tpmx 5y agoI'm guessing the rationale of their producting marketing people is something like: Meet the developers where they hang out, etc.
- kjeetgill 5y agoI'd agree with these hypothetical "product marketing people". As annoying as it is to deal with binaries over source I absolutely would rather deal with a git repo than just a handful of URLs.
