However, the broader issue that Microsoft has infiltrated OSS and its organizations successfully by hiring and donating remains. It would not surprise me at all if they now hire people with an ostensibly "freedom fighter" background for credibility.
Look at how many people here cite his (former?) membership in the Pirate Party for credibility! Party membership means nothing. Politicians (in general!) change their minds, can be bought, etc. The Green Party in Germany started out as a peace party and has been used repeatedly to lend credibility to the Kossovo and other wars.
Today, we are pleased to announce that Microsoft will once again be supporting Open Data Day by providing mini-grants to organisations to help them run events, the call will launch on Open Data Day 2022.
They also supported "Open Data Day 2021". Sounds like a nice trojan horse to influence EU legislation through purported activists.
