Do you think it’s a good idea to adapt licenses to be able to disallow training models on the source code? Do you think this could be enforced? If so, how?
With Microsoft, any love shown could well be the Embrace part of the strategy that will lead to Extend and then Extinguish just as soon as they can figure those parts out. They might already have a plan.
The fact they’ve been able to turn things to their advantage so far does not mean they don’t have such a plan. Or won’t ever have one.
Microsoft loves open source nowadays.
People do a huge amount of their work for free.
They’re also heavily invested in Linux for the cloud. So any work done there helps them.

Well, capitalism is an abusive relationship so we shouldn’t expect more.

FWIW the 90s ended over 20 years ago. A lot of people were not alive yet, or were only children at the height of Microsofts tomfuckery.
The 90s ended 23 years ago. And to not just live through but also “care” about MsS doings in the 90s someone needs to be even older.
Its really not that far fetched that a lot of younger people may see MS in a more positive way than you do apparently.
As someone in their mid 40S: YYEAAARGGHH
Seems unlikely with how they work now. You also can’t really extinguish foss.
.Net is cross platform and open source as well now.
Maybe if Linux becomes a competitor in the desktop market. But I don’t see that happening any time soon.
Steve Balmer wasn’t as keen on it…
