I was thinking that when I read it. We're so far from the days when MS claimed that Linux had a lot of stolen and copyrighted code in the kernel.

Not really. We don't have ntfs and exfat drivers in the kernel due to patent claims. Fedora can't even show fonts properly. This is just usual diplomacy. Nothing to get too happy (or too worked up) about.

I have been noticing an uptick in pro Microsoft propaganda on Hacker News. Does Microsoft seriously think developers opinions can be swayed by some lip service after almost 3 decades of abuse?

What was old is new again, embrace and embed may succeed where extinguish failed.

This. Probably. Quite soon enough people who don't know better will think that the Proper Way to run Linux is as WSL inside Windows 10...
