They own this one website that hosts a few open source projects for free… https://github.com/ https://github.com/ Maybe you’ve heard of it. In all seriousness, I would say that today Microsoft does a better job supporting open source projects than most of their peers.

By buying github, they got the ability to suck down all the code on it, at scale. If I understand correctly, it was then used for AI training - so perhaps more like open source being co-opted than supported.
