       Microsoft Won.In the beginning, Steve Ballmer famously called Linux a "cancer" because its copyleft mechanism threatened Microsoft's proprietary software license margins. They tried to destroy it with FUD. They lost because open source's community-driven distribution velocity was unstoppable.Then, Microsoft pivoted. They bought GitHub. It was an acquisition of a software supply chain.And now, Microsoft extinguishes: they use an LLM to launder the logic of GitHub repositories, rendering the licenses written inside of them completely toothless. By making the code inside a repository something that can be synthesized on demand, Microsoft shifts the economic leverage away from developers and locks it into the platform that can host and generate code.#Microsoft #Linux #GitHub #OpenSource #AI #LLM #SoftwareDevelopment #Agentic #Coding #CodingAgent #FOSS_LLM
