Textbook Microsoft move. Thanks for the link, that was an interesting, if disgusting, read. I loved in particular that they were difficult about reimbursing his travel. You'd think a multi billion dollar company would be able to pay for however much a plane ticket and possibly a hotel stay was...
That's not the first time I hear something like that from a big company. I saw a talk by Matt Godbolt (compiler explorer) mentioning that NVidia took more than a year to pay him some contribution they said they would for the CUDA support. Can't remember the figure, but it was ridiculously low.
