Again? Isn't this the third time or something? Then Microsoft comes along with a briefcase of Euros and the "problem" goes away. Sombody please correct me if I'm mis-remembering.
What you describe happened in Munich, at least. This is in another state.
@cyberwolfie
Sensibly munich switched back to open source in 2020 :)
@kingmongoose7877
Yes, Munich, thank you! 👍
Maybe they're looking to get a big Microsoft contract. Switching to FOSS attracts suits bringing cash.
It's not a lot of stuff really going on in foss/anti-bigtech
If they do it in all states at once there will be nothing to talk about in years
