Random musings on GPL and Microsoft
|
|
We had Microsoft releasing some 20,000 LOC of Linux drivers so that Linux can run faster on their Hyper-V solution. A lot of MS PR saying how they love interoperability and how cool they are. I will be the first to say that I was in shock (and I bet I wasn't the only one). After all, we are talking about a license that their managers explicitly hate so why release code under that license then? I just couldn't help seeing a little hypocrisy involved.... to say the least. It's always cool to say that they had to eat their own words anyway so I didn't take it as a bad thing, after all, as Linus says, we are all developing scratching our own itches.

If there was no violation then there was no situation to be called upon (which people involved wouldn't have had to say that they would have wanted it to be handled quietly) in the first place, was there? I don't know, but something smells fishy here.
