@erin @feditips @thomholwerda @osc @ThePlant I remember when Microsoft lost the court battle for Internet Explorer and being a monopoly. Itโ€™s not hard to imagine that they do this because itโ€™s good footing for them to not look like a monopoly. โ€œSee? We help the open source movement stay just competitive enough!โ€
