Let’s just have a think, yes? Let’s say @gitpod open sources *all* of Gitpod. Full free software product play. They run a saas, they take partner workloads, they let you build a derivative and ship it (but can’t call it Gitpod)
Suddenly the defacto backplane for running dev environments in the cloud is? Gitpod! Overnight. How many products would integrate? Let’s start with at least all the ones in that press release! How many more? So many.
Set the BD deal threshold low. Let us white label it. Build a portable ecosystem, where the easiest place is on the Gitpod service.
Microsoft would be incredibly dumb to not switch. But they’ll have lost the upstream!!
Open source can be a competitive weapon, and this is the perfect way to deploy it. Go all in, Gitpod! Get it.
