.NET Foundation is not Microsoft.

  After reading the blog posts linked form this one I would consider this statement very questionable. Maybe it's not MS on paper. But the DNF looks like it would be fully under MS control.

    I fully agree. Microsoft is clearly abusing its ownership here to grab all the projects under the .NET Foundation. I'm particularly worried this brouhaha will undermine the entire .NET ecosystem eventually. As I earn my living writing .NET software this could harm me in the long term.

    Indeed. I think those affected have commendably kept their cool so far but I’d say this (diversity Trojan horse, “we need full control to enforce the CoC, whoops you’re fired goodbye”) is a playbook that will be often repeated in the coming years.
