I mean, he literally stole Facebook, so he supports stealing other people's work.

So he's going to be fined so much money it'll ruin his life, right?

Well this is one way to fund open source.

Looking forward to all the Foss projects on GitHub sueing Microsoft. Please let me know how I can signup for the lawsuit

It doesn't matter right? Even this framing is suspect. If he didn't authorize it and actively discouraged it, he's still the CEO and he's still responsible anyway

Dude no one cares enough to do anything about it. Any fines they may incur are the cost of doing business. They’ve already got all of their data, anyway.
