Microsoft Becomes Sponsor of Open Source Initiative

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has announced that Microsoft hasjoined the organization as a Premium Sponsor."Microsoft's history with the OSI dates back to 2005 with the submission of the Microsoft Community License, then again in August of 2007 with the submission of the Microsoft Permissive License. For many in the open source software community, it was Microsoft's release of .NET in 2014 under an open source license that may have first caught their attention. Microsoft has increasingly participated in open source projects and communities as users, contributors, and creators, and has released even more open source products like Visual Studio Code and Typescript."
