In .NET, open source does not beget open source

What has this got to do with open source? Imagine a open source project hosted on Team Foundation Server and the contributors all using Visual Studio. Is that project any less "open source" than other open source projects? Why will that .NET project beget something that is not open source? Doesn't make any sense.

The article should be titled something like "Cross-platform development of .NET is hard". And then go on to talk about how that can be a hurdle for open source development.

Completely agree. To use a different analogy, this is like writing ObjC code using XCode and talking about how hard it is to compile outside the Apple world of tools (perhaps using GNUStep). It is no less open source.

If opensource is hosted on a private TFS server, does it make a sound?

Who said anything about a private server? Why the snark?
