As a slave any new privilege is better than having less than before.

Slave to what exactly at this point?

[encryptluks2]

To Microsoft. You're basically becoming a slave by joining the foundation, agreeing to have them own your projects.

[wolf550e]

You don't become a slave, but you give up control of the project and you basically become a volunteer employee of Microsoft. If someone does pay you for your work on that project, then it's not so bad. If the project was your passion, it's not a good idea.

[achandlerwhite]

No you don’t. They have a contribution model where you keep the copyright. I recently had a project accepted under those terms.

If you go this way, why even bother with whole .NET ecosystem? It is all Microsoft. It would be easier to go with Python/Ruby maybe Java.

Going Java and dealing with Oracle is easier than .NET and Microsoft?

[oneplane]

If I'm not mistaken, you can do Java without ever having to deal with Oracle, unless you work on Java itself.
