It's the classic Microsoft "triple E" strategy that has been used against libre historically:

  • Embrace (interoperable)

  • Extend (new features)

  • Extinguish (fork the protocols to break interoperability)

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
