Microsoft pays quite a few people to work on Code. I assume the code is open because they gain some value from community submitting PRs and is good publicity to develop it in the open on Github.
But, make no mistake, this is not a OSS project in the true sense of the word. MS will ALWAYS be the decision maker here and will do whatever it benefits them. They pay people to work on this full time, they get to have the last word. IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
- Strom 4y agoIt's true but the same thing is true for almost every open source project. Instead of Microsoft it's usually a single guy or perhaps a duo who has the ultimate say. Everyone else's word is just a suggestion. It's a rarity for an open source project to work under some sort of democracy where random developers have a say.
