Petition: make WMR open source
Microsoft has stopped supporting WMR.
Please sign this petition to?open-source the software, so others can maintain it and prevent the perfectly good VR headsets becoming e-waste!
You’re wrong about open sourcing abandoned software being easy.
No no no no. Don’t you see. You just pick the “open source” dropdown in Visual Studio and it goes through the repo and history to remove any potentially problematic comments or code bits, ensures that any algorithms the company wants to keep are extracted, and even generates documentation and a github project.
It is so easy that it is criminal that more companies don’t do it. But if we make enough online petitions, they too will use the open source button.
