       Heads up! #Microsoft is on track to ban all commercial activity by #FOSS projects on Microsoft Store in about a week!  This is even worse than their (eventually repealed) 2011 ban on #copyleft for their app store! 😡️ We demand rollback of this new policy: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2022/jul/07/microsoft-bans-commerical-open-source-in-app-store/

       @conservancy @devinprater My first thought?probably an effort to push out the spam they've encouraged. Theres been quite a few foss barely packaged into the store over time that charge money where no additional support is offered. 🤷🏻

       @antijingoist @conservancy @devinprater > There's ...There's nothing wrong with 3rd parties selling free software and it should be allowed.

       Since you don't have to get your software from a Microsoft store and can in fact download from ANY website, who gives a flying fuck what Microshaft does or does not allow on their store?  It's not like Crapple where you have no other option.

       @conservancy Many don't understand what is this about. They are just trying to ban other people from selling FOSS software, and just allow the original author to do it.

       @roboneko @shironeko @conservancy As an example, GIMP is sold by multiple people(proably they didn't work on the GIMP project) for prices around $10 on Microsoft Store. This is what are they trying to deal with, by allowing only to the autors of the project to sell it(proably forks will be allowed as well)

       @cristiioan @conservancy @roboneko also it is quite clear from the policy that it doesn't distinguish between who's doing the selling.

       @shironeko @roboneko @conservancy They are making money from software they didn't develop.
