Comment on EnteAuth (and a bunch of other FOSS) take Microsoft's "free" money

Whether it’s good or bad is not determined by the fact that it’s corporate money, but how that money impacts development, the devil’s in the details, not just in a company donating lots of money.

Open source in general is very dependent on corporate sponsors. The linux kernel wouldn’t exist had companies not invested in it.

I’m not knowledgeable enough to access the potential pitfalls here, so I will be cautious but not paranoid, and continue to pay attention to discussions on how FOSS projects are run 🤷‍♂️
