No real open source contributor thinks any corporation is "their friend", whatever that means. And yet, it is undeniably true that being a Linux foundation member and contributor, producing and maintaining one of the largest programming language ecosystem and runtimes currently in use, and running the largest open source friendly source code repositories for free, would have been unthinkable under Balmer or Gates' Microsoft, and if you think otherwise, you should look in the mirror for that ignorance you mentioned.
