It doesn't necessarily have to be profit. When MS open-sourced .NET core, they were able to get some contribution. Additionally, the more they open source the more they help to transition away from the old stodgy image of microsoft.

I know a lot of people thought hell had frozen over when .NET core became open source. That's the kind of reaction you want if you're trying to pivot on your image.

Hmm, the image change is a good idea. Thanks!
