- Spivak 5y agoMicrosoft controls all of NPM since NPM is owned by Github. https://github.blog/2020-03-16-npm-is-joining-github/ https://github.blog/2020-03-16-npm-is-joining-github/
- AHappyCamper 5y agoEhhhh...... that just makes me feel so uneasy. Things like npm should ideally be maintained by the community or its own organisation. It's too tempting for a big corp like Microsoft to add their own little bits to listed packages here and there. :\\\\\\
- Vinnl 5y agoIt was maintained by a separate (VC-funded) organisation. That got sold to GitHub/Microsoft.
