      Mostly because the FOSS community doesn’t have a single point of leadership that is maniacally focused on becoming a total monopoly.

      And that’s a good thing

  Didn’t the Trump admin suspend enforcement of foreign anti-bribery laws? Microsoft just has to write a check to the right person to kill this.

    Breaking anti-bribery laws of a country is illegal, no matter whether they are enforced in some other country or not. Of course Microsoft can break the law and then keep paying large fines until they decide to no longer break the law.
