Yeah, there's a difference between Microsoft saying "We love open source now" and Microsoft saying "fuck the police, IP law needs to be rebuilt from the ground up anyway".

The idea that Microsoft should lose some of the goodwill it got doing the first for not doing the second is really naive.

No the line appears to be: "we love opensource, unless it messes with some BigCorps businessmodel, in which case a letter of nebulous legal fudge is enough to delete your repo without due process"
