The title of this should really be changed to the more descriptive subtitle: "The story of how Microsoft embraced and then killed AppGet."

>>TiredO+(OP)
Not really. Afterall his AppGet package was open source....

>>boromi+o2
What point exactly are you trying to make ?

>>boromi+o2
Last time I checked, something being open-source doesn't mean corps like MSFT can shit on them.

The post was trying to imply that because the project was open source, it's a free-for-all for microsoft to just take and modify for their own needs. And that is exactly what happened.

Honestly the tech innovation of AppGet while good, isn't something groundbreaking. Manifests have been used by other package managers in the past. Yes it's stinks he didn't get more credit, but IMO it's blown out of proportion.

The MIT license expressly allows for shitting on software though. In fact it's allowed for anyone, not just megacorps.
