Github is Microsoft. Microsoft has called your work cancer and spent several decades trying to undermine and destroy it. Doesn't it bother you that days after they start directly profiting off your work through copilot that they attempt to buy some positive PR?
If Microsoft didn't fight FOSS so aggressively, perhaps the world would support it more. Instead, Microsoft alone will profit, and they tossed a couple people a one time tiny sum.
So yes, well done Github, you've further divided a community.
- intern4tional 4y agoThis wasn't done to divide the community. This was done as a simple thank you and as Microsoft treats GitHub as a separate business entity, Microsoft almost certainly wasn't involved in this decision. 500k is small enough that this may not have even risen to a VP level for approval. Change happens slowly. This is a small step in the right direction.
