Summary: Interlude and roundup of posts about Microsoft’s entryism-esque strategy, which involves it painting itself as its own competition while silently taking over parts of it (using money and a PR campaign)

THIS year, as planned, by putting aside some USPTO coverage (but not EPO coverage) we’ve freed up some time to cover GNU/Linux matters — more or less like we used to about a decade ago. We recently began a series which is not over yet (it’s work in progress) and we’ve already seen some responses in the form of articles, which themselves attracted comments such those citing us directly. “When Microsoft acquired The Linux Foundation in 2016, it ceased to be moral,” one comment said in recent days. There are dozens more.

“Nobody has yet complained about any inaccuracies.”In order to organise matters and put it in a chronological context we’ve decided that, rather than put it all in a Wiki (like we typically do) we’d link back to previous articles. Here are some articles of relevance to this:

What Happened to the Linux

Foundation?Constructive Suggestions

We have several more pieces on the way, but we need to be patient until we can verify all the facts (pertinent claims ascertained to be true, for sure). Nobody has yet complained about any inaccuracies. We wish to keep it that way. █
