I'm grateful for all the work put towards WSL, but MS doesn't love Linux by any stretch: - surface hw compatibly - boot sector override - FS incompatibility - closed formats - time issues - drivers and apis - uwp - ... We could go on and on... MS wants Apple/Unix devs back on MS

Where to even start? "Well Microsoft isn't actually buying control of Linux" - so the title is clickbait "I only accept sponsorship from free and open source software org's" - except the hardware OEM who's laptops you just plugged ...

You're absolutely right, I just put the video as a reference for the main idea behind it. I'm in no means extreme to one side or the other. But I would like more fair-play overall for a win-win situation.

Glad you did. It's a good example of views of some who believe software should be free, open source, unhindered, and unencumbered - honorable ideals, but very VERY unevenly applied. Ultimately all FOSS is paid for by someone, somewhere otherwise dev's couldn't pay their bills

Well that is correct, except for hobbyist. And exactly why I hate when people get upset about a bug report or a feature request by replying " we do this for free ". Exposure, conventions, public promotion,... Are all forms of payment But I'm grateful for their work none the less

... That's why we should support OSS projects, especially foundational ones e.g. OpenSSL, Linux, OpenSSH, etc. That's why corporate sponsorship is vital to the long-term support of major projects

Yes, but control should still be given to foundation that are composed of more than one major entity. Good example "kubernetes".

Right: Kubernetes' steering committee is RedHat, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, Huawei, Heptio. Linux foundation board is comprised of people from ~22 orgs:https://www.linuxfoundation.org/about/board-members/ …
