Microsoft's Attack on the Free Software Supply Chain
-
GitHub nabs JavaScript packaging vendor npm [Ed: Reminder that Open Source is under attack and we know the attackers are 100% proprietary with reckless history of crime and ICE contracts]
-
Microsoft's GitHub absorbs NPM into its code-hosting empire: JavaScript library vault used by 12 million devs now under Redmond's roof [Ed: Now you get your code and binaries from the NSA's foremost partner, which puts back doors in everything and then receives Pentagon bailout (contract)]
-
GitHub acquires npm to strengthen its open-source community presence [Ed: In this case "presence" means censorship and surveillance etc. i.e. control]
-
Microsoft and GitHub Strengthen Their Hold on Open Source [Ed: This headline tells you what Microsoft is after. It's all about control, not freedom.]
-
GitHub Buying JavaScript Company npm Inc. [Ed: How a Microsoft publisher covered the hijacking of JS developers by Microsoft. A Microsoft executive has already hijacked another major consortium of JS, elevating oneself to top post in 'Linux' Foundation management. Open Source is not "Winning". Open Source and by extension Free software is under attack and those who claim it is winning receive their salaries from the attackers.]
-
Closed source? Pull the other one... We love open source, but not enough to share code for our own app, says GitHub [Ed: Microsoft Github is very malicious proprietary software and a trap. Even Microsoft Tim writes to that effect.]
-
Why Microsoft's GitHub Is Buying Npm [Ed: Waffle, fluff and shameless propaganda from Microsoft. This is all about spying on, censoring and controlling one's competition. Antitrust law seems not to exist in age of Trump.]
Microsoft subsidiary GitHub announced it is buying Npm, which is a company that distributes packages of open-source software in JavaScript. Plus Npm also offers software that companies use for proprietary code, according to CNBC. The terms of the deal were undisclosed.
-
Github acquires npm to aid JavaScript developers [Ed: No, IDG. Not to "aid" but to hijack, subjugate and control (e.g. spy on, censor) those developers.]
