one thing that struck me was that the foundation for this effort was the linux distro build system. in other words, the work they put into making .net open-source and cross-platform eventually made everyone's lives easier.

I think .NET is way beyond the situation that they question their open source move. The amount of pull requests and positive outcomes for them in the last 10 years (yeah that long already) is mind blowing.

		yeah, I didn't mean that it was evidence the open source move was successful or valuable, more that it showed that the engineering effort that went into the open sourcing also yielded dividends for the project in general
