Replacing something with a better version is also the basis of the success of life.

It's all in how you approach things.

If you are going to argue that Microsoft is out on a new EEE trip you are going to have a hard time now that it releases everything as Open Source.

There have been EEE accusations against e.g. systemd, so it's not clear that other OSS couldn't get the same. Actually now that I think about it I don't see why EEE would depend on unreleased source at all.

They aren't, but the only reason for these aliases in the first place is that type of attitude. curl is a commonly used utility, so lets replace the command with completely different.

Windows?

Office?

SQL Server?

Seems to me, that Microsoft now releases "everything" as open source only by the most ridiculously limited definition of "everything".
