There's a somewhat decent argument to be made for non-profit organizations, but there's none for for-profit orgs like Microsoft.
- naikrovek 3y agosuccessfully reach out to all contributors to the Linux kernel and then tell me CLAs are bad for a corporation. you open source people, man. you give all developers a horrible reputation. put up or shut up, lol
