People *really* don't understand code ownership do they.

Quite a few people groaned at me and complained I said Microsoft "donated" Mono to the Wine team on @gamingonlinux

"Hurr how can they donate what's FOSS"

Well, they owned it, it was their project (after buying Xamarin).

Yeah it's FOSS, but you can't just take someone else's FOSS project, put it on your GitHub and claim you suddenly own it. You forked it, you don't own the name, the community doesn't come with it etc etc.
