- jacquesm 17y agoOh, we agree on that. It's just the method that I'm worried about.
- BrentRitterbeck 17y agoMicrosoft can't put thousands of contributors out of business if there is no business to begin with. A lot of these people contribute their free time.

These guys now contributing to a kernel that they claimed not that long ago contains numerous patent violations seems a little weird, if not downright suspicious. But, let's give it some time and see how it plays out. Maybe next week they'll open source excel, who knows :)
