@taxorubio Yes, microsoft loves "open source", as they can throw around buzzwords and make people "feel good" and fail to realise what is being advertised to them is proprietary software.

They really love committing mass copyright infringement against all public projects too (the case for such infringements is pending, but sadly it seems the complainants made a few procedural errors and microsoft has more lawyers and endlessly deep pockets).


I don't see as to why those tools would even need github already, as git over https and https fileserving is all those tools should need when it comes to downloading software.
