●● At the End Microsoft Pays/Hires to Reward Its ‘Moles’ or ‘Footsoldiers’

Posted in GNOME, Microsoft at 5:32 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Team Mono took over GitHub (Nat Friedman), Stormy Peters came to Microsoft, Miguel de Icaza came to Microsoft; notice the pattern…

THIS article about GNOME received shallow condemnations from GNOME people. Why? Because they deliberately distorted what it actually said. Ever noticed how GNOME Foundation people — when not too busy bashing Richard Stallman (by twisting his words) — help Microsoft? Ever noticed how many former chiefs of the GNOME Foundation end up working (directly) for Microsoft? This is the kind of thing we were alluding to when we simply pointed out that the whole board of the Foundation is on GitHub (Microsoft), with accounts that are controlled by Microsoft.

As a bonus, in the above photos, especially that last one, one can also see cross-pollination with OSI (its board). Entryism oughtn’t be taken lightly. Money does corrupt things and according to new reports some people have the balls to walk away. See “CEO of Open Technology Fund Resigns After Closed-Source Lobbying Effort” published just hours ago… (sent to us by two people already) █
