No, no, no. That's not the reason. Have you actually read the article?
The reason is that Microsoft is doing a sophisticated stratagem against Linux. It wants to infiltrate the Linux ecosystem, and then when they can keep taps on every piece of essential software, they will pull the plug.
The same with patent pledge, they want to bait as much companies to use Linux thinking that Microsoft will not patent troll them, and then they will reveal their true intentions, and sue them all.
That trick even got a name now. People in the industry called Microsoft's infiltration strategy "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish"
Linux crowd will soon realise what trick they are trying to do, and I hope they will do that before it is too late.
