Open like a floral trap

Summary: Microsoft-taxed components are being pushed into Linux by friends of Microsoft, making the platform non-free

THERE is a new announcement from Paragon, which helps Microsoft tax Linux and Android just like Tuxera. We know very little about this company, but we will learn over time.

In other news, the project which is funded by Microsoft veterans, Mono, is said to be adding more Microsoft code. To quote, “Mono 2.11 has already brought many changes while with the new 2.11.3 release the big feature is the integration of Microsoft’s Entity Framework.”

This was also covered here. It’s nothing worth celebrating. █
