That being said, MS has never been friendly to FLOSS/FOSS/OSS, only to mixed source SW. Even through to this day. For example, WSL. So you can certainly move main dev over there, but please keep other places alive and well because there's literally no reason to think that this "marriage" of MS and OSS will not be an abusive relationship. E.G. some OSS devs have noticed AIs copying their code verbatim which then can wind up in closed source projects. David
