Are you saying they had to hire people to "steal open source"?

Whether it was a necessity or not, they hired many mediocre but dominant open source people up to around 2022 who introduced CoCs, forced the projects to move to GitHub etc. and push for permissive licenses.

And they did fire some of them in 2025/2026.

Buy, like they dud with Github.
