●● Microsoft GitHub is for Theft by Microsoft (Stealing Other People’s Work)

Posted in Deception, Microsoft at 6:49 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: This is just the latest example and cautionary tale (the same thing was done to Linux by the same person, who now bosses Linus Torvalds at the Linux Foundation after Microsoft paid for that to happen). Where are the antitrust investigators? Taking instructions from Microsoft's lobbyists?

Taking instructions from Microsoft's lobbyists

If your project uses GitHub, then Microsoft is your boss.

(There’s some face-saving PR here from an anti-Torvalds troll)

Update: Microsoft Tim weighs in as well (puff piece). It’s him who helped Microsoft hijack Linux (exporting it to GitHub). One day apart Microsoft Tim distracted from Microsoft’s antitrust violations. He became a shameless shill of Microsoft front groups, which are even hosted by Microsoft (he does not disclose this).

Update #2: There’s more information : “Littles was elected and took on the role of chair for the Technical Steering Group, hoping to be able to achieve some progress towards Open Source sustainability. However, when he realized that his efforts were futile he resigned from the .NET Foundation board ahead of the 2021 elections which took place in August. He hadn’t intended to draw attention to this, but changed his mind when the announcement of the election results reported on his resignation.”
