Enriching Microsoft and improving their position in the market as a byproduct of publishing and using open source code that has nothing to do with them.
How is open source software harmed by Microsoft being successful promoting open source software? This feels like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
The danger is not to open source in particular; it is to the world in general, which includes open source developers, as well as all other people.
Microsoft and their allies make the world a lot worse for a lot of people. They’re the number one distributor of spyware in the world!
