I read “Microsoft Built Its Own Custom Linux Kernel For Its New IoT Service” from – Slashdot and I wonder: is it the same old technique “embrace, extend, extinguish”, or the old black night is slowly walking the long and winding road to redemption?
Yet such large corporations shall not be dealt with as a single entity, as a person. It is perfectly feasible that a part of MS is really and earnestly friendly toward Software Libre and at the same time another part is subtly hostile.
