Open Source isn’t some weird religion where it only matters if you open source the stuff that makes you money.
- harry8 5y agoHow does that work with their patent threats? Eg against mono, gnome, tomtom(?) for using a Free implementation of the fat filesystem? I haven't been following it but is all that renounced so it can't possibly come back or be applied to the next people? My first reaction is "How do we know that releasing the code isn't just bait?"
