        They could though! Microsoft has a long history of “embrace, extend, extinguish”!

        You may be willing to put your company at risk because you trust Microsoft but I’m not going to.

          Feel free to do you, I have told you this already. Seeing you’re unable to drop the conversation, when did Microsoft ever sue someone for using C#? I trust Microsoft far more than Oracle (reasons detailed in another comment). However, I do not run Microsoft software at my company at this time, other things work better for what I need.

            when did Microsoft ever sue someone for using C#?

            When has Oracle sued somebody for using OpenJDK?

              Give them a few years to change the rules. If their prior love of lawsuits is any indication they will do so soon.

                Do you see?? Do you see yet that you’re just now blindly defending a company that has been so anti-open source in its past? A company that has been found guilty of abusing a monopoly? Yet you’re defending them over another company that has also done terrible things??

                You’re approach is so laughably black & white with no nuance that you can’t even see that I’m mocking it by attacking Microsoft with your same terrible logic.

                  No, these are different situations. One openly sued the user’s of their language, the other did not.
