7 Things you can Learn from Microsoft's Open Source Experience
summary
Microsoft reports 30,000 employees linking GitHub identities, 10,000 Microsoft org repos and about 5 million usages of open source components; tooling automatically approves roughly 80–90% of detected licenses so legal review only fires for edge cases; projects like clearlydefined and the OpenChain standard codify license and compliance data; Fluid Framework and VS Code are real open releases; small OSP teams, open source champs and inner‑source practices change ownership and velocity but surface code‑ownership friction.
