Did you look at the Contribution License Agreement? It appears that the issue at hand was in fact "spelled out". Repo owners aren't unreasonable to interpret this action as bad faith. I would agree that their message would be better communicated with a more amicable tone.

I don't see why you think people should respond in an amicable tone to an employee of a corporation blatantly attempting to seize ownership of assets which currently do not belong to them.

It says: "owned or managed".

It does not say "owned AND managed".

MSFT has been in the business of using legal to make money. This is not the Apache Foundation. This is a non-profit arm of MSFT.

This was entirely GP's point.

Yes, I agreed with his point and disagreed with his characterization of the situation.
