Why would a company buy Docker? With \\u201cnear triple digit revenue,\\u201d perhaps there\\u2019s a good business model to match the interest in free, but, in turn, why would an acquirer want to pay for free?

\\n- Realtime follow-up: does this mean that Wardley is now DHH?
\\n
\\n- WTF? The data behind Microsoft\'s surprising open source track record\\n\\n
\\n- \\u201cMicrosoft may have a mixed history with open source, but today the company is demonstrating some impressive traction when it comes to open source community contributions. If we are to judge the company on its recent actions, the data shows what Satya Nadella said in his announcement about Microsoft being \\u201call in on open source\\u201d is more than just words.\\u201d
