This is an OpenBSD mailing list, so that is off-topic. You effectively accused MSFT (or other companies) of meddling in OpenBSD, which means you are accusing OpenBSD of being accepting towards such 'meddling'. Are you ethically-challenged and unable to understand what you are saying? > So I think and hope that OpenBSD people will keep doing the good job > they have been doing.
