I think they are trying to please a split group of investors and public, of their major investors Google and Nvidia have signed the open source petition letter and Amazon hasn't, so their non position is trying to please every who has taken a clearer stance, although it's quite bad.

Amazon did sign it though...
Do you have a source for that? Everything I've read and can find still shows they haven't signed it.

Amazon is listed as signatory, I doubt microsoft just decided for them.

Thanks for that, I guess they might release a statement of sorts later? Quite a quiet signing on their part.
