There has to be a line drawn somewhere. The main issue here is that MS is taking advantage of OSS by using the massive codebase available to them. You can't play both cards and expect devs to take it and move on. They started by stating "we love open source". Created tools to demonstrate their commitment and then when the community lowered their guard just a little bit, boom, back to old practices. This is a rant but you get the idea. The level of corporate malice and greed is almost comical and it was perfectly executed. Start saying you love OSS. Build tools (vscode) to attract devs and keep selling the message "for the community" (WoW reference). Create a Linux environnement to stop bleeding devs and keep selling the message. Buy the largest code repository in the world and keep selling the message. The community starts letting its guard down since it seems they are changing. Then, with no surprises on why this happens, switch gears and start going back to old habits. Rest assured this was not "this is what's best for the community" decision nor it was decided 2 years ago. We tend to forget that corporations only answer to shareholders. That's it. Everything is and will be, one way or another, aligned around them.
