If the reverse happened, no doubt Microsoft would be sending cease and desists to edgedb.

  Has Microsoft been particularly litigious of late? Pearl clutching over Microsoft’s use of telemetry (which Google never uses, by contrast) has turned into full-blown Slashdot-style insanity.

    What you call insanity, I call keeping check on power abusers, and MS has decades of track record of that. The fact they started to play nicer the last few years doesn't magically erase lying, cheating, corrupting and trolling for 20 years. Also google gets it fair share of criticism. In fact, I think we don't make enough noise given the few people outside of our bubble that knows about it.
