- ghssds 1y agoThis is exactly the kind of thing Microsoft likes to opensource: old, crusty, and obsolete. Let's compare. When ID Software opensourced Doom a few years after it's initial release, there was still some life in it and it spawned a myriad of forks and new developments continuing to this day. An active community formed around it. When Microsoft opensourced MSDOS, an opensource clone had existed for so long it was only of interrest to archeologists and historians. It was as whitered and lifeless as Zork is.

- knowitnone3 1y agolearn what? how to print text to stdout? how to do if else statements or math.random? I'm sure you can rewrite this in a week or in a month from scratch. Next, Microsoft will opensource notepad because there are 0 text editors out there. It is 1960 after all.
