Um. That comment does not say that "they dropped Krita". > > A lot of OSS application uses Microsoft Store for donations. A donation is voluntary, and would not be affected by the policy. If you mean lots of OSS applications put paid versions on store fronts to try and get some income, sure, this is true, but that is not at all what you originally claimed. > Now they > will be forced to become free or disappear from the Store. You're ignoring the part about Microsoft saying that's not the intent of the policy and that they would change it, but if that didn't happen, potentially yes. But this is still not what you claimed. You claimed - direct quote - "last week they decided to kill all OSS applications from the Microsoft Store". > The GPL > doesn't prohibit selling if you provide the source code to customers. Indeed it doesn't.
