GETTING FORKED BY MICROSOFT

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Philip Laine developed Spegel to solve container image registry downtime issues. Microsoft then contacted Laine and expressed interest in Spegel, leading to discussions about a potential collaboration. However, Microsoft created Peerd, a similar project, and included code and tests directly copied from Spegel, with minimal attribution. Despite this, Spegel is still a successful project, but it shows the challenges open-source maintainers face when interacting with large corporations.
