I have a feeling Microsoft is going to do the same thing with the .NET Foundation where they release some of the source code in the spirit of loving open source, but their important code to make it all work as a complete package is hidden. That way, a "community" can improve their code for them and in return, they take that code and make their non-free software better.

At the same time, Microsoft is praised for being open and progressive for embracing open source and loving Linux but their ulterior motives are to lock developers into the C# ecosystem on Linux like they do with Windows and be reliant on their non-free tools.

I have no need to use C# as I find Python a gorgeous language that is stable and has the backing of a non-profit.
