GitHub: Where everything comes to die



Summary: Balabhadra (Alex) Graveley from Microsoft GitHub (the man behind the GPL violation machine called "Copilot") has "pled guilty to get deferred sentence"

IN THE previous part, which was the first part of this second phase, we dealt with the objectives and strategy of GitHub. Microsoft wants to leverage it to imprison development of software -- putting it back in shackles of proprietary software. The first 20 parts of the series partly focused on Graveley but mostly on Copilot, culminating in the arrest record of Balabhadra (Alex) Graveley, the person behind Copilot, then behind bars.

"Alex pled guilty to get deferred sentence," a source has told us. In other words, he admits culpability or guilt. Long gone are his close friends Miguel de Icaza and Nat Friedman, who have already fled the scene (Microsoft) and are keeping eerily low profile. We know for a fact that they knew what he had done (we showed hard evidence earlier in this series), they certainly knew how bad that was, and still they protected, shielded, and sometimes promoted this person. Some of the Board of the Linux Foundation (from Microsoft) also covered it up! Later they tell us how much they value Diversity and Inclusion...

This seems like typical Microsoft behaviour -- a lack of a conscientious instinct.

The "other Alex" (Kipman) has meanwhile been removed in relation to sexual things [1, 2]. He was a top-level manager at Microsoft and we have reasons to suspect what he did was vastly worse than what Microsoft wants us to know (same thing which happened in 2020 when Microsoft was quick to distance itself from the pervert Bill Gates).
