    If someone evades billions in taxes but one day donates 50 dollars it doesn’t absolve their wrongdoings whatsoever. This is just an attempt at trying to improve their image.

      It doesn’t mean there is some evil plan either 😂

      You’ll find that developers in these companies tend not to care so much about politics either.

      Like I used to sell apple gear. The sales people were political. When I went to a developer conference, the developers were absolutely upfront about everything and normal people

        These corpos are very vocal in arguing to maintain their low tax contributions so perhaps you’re right.

          Again, you do realise Mono was started by the same guy who founded Gnome right?
