He doesn’t understand F/OSS. Before Microsoft hired him, he had been doing just
SaaS.
It’s a straw man.
The less they understand, the easier it becomes for them to defend their
ignorance and disinformation.
That, for example, is why Microsoft sent lawyers/managers to technical
discussions about OOXML.
Notice how they speak about Novell as their GPL proxy...
“While Microsoft can support GPL-based code through its partners, as it does
with Novell, the company can’t contribute directly to projects due to the
GPL’s license terms and requirements, he [Ramji] explained.”
