content: There are a lot of people in the tech community these days that really have little to no idea of what Microsoft was like in the 1990s. They can never be trusted.  Never.  People who are aware of their history, particularly those who have seen it up close, are probably not at all surprised by this. Admittedly, I hoped that Microsoft may have changed since the DOJ verdict against them all those years ago, but as soon as that went away, old Microsoft came back with every intention of making up for lost time - with a large amount of interest, no less. Anyone who is deploying Microsoft technology on Linux should take note of this sort of behavior.  Fortunately many are still wary in those parts.  As an additional note, any open source software released by Microsoft probably has something terrible in its license if it isn't an unadulterated, well-known one, e.g. GPL, BSD, etc.
