    Open source advocates learning the hard way that no, you can’t turn microsoft into an ethical company from the inside out. The profit motive chews up and spits out anyone trying to do so.

    The .NET people may win a few here and there, but they’re fighting a losing battle, and should just switch to better more open source platforms already.

        JSP is under the Eclipse and GPL 2 with GNU CE licenses. In the other hand .NET is managed by the .NET Foundation, a Microsoft’s front entity to have the ecosystem and the “community” under its control. It de facto controls the patents and licenses (suspiciously MIT licenses) of .NET

          I was telling that because of “should just switch to better more open source platforms already” even when Lemmy is written in rust and other langs.
