Brad Smith (), President and General Counsel of Microsoft, held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, that his attitude towards the open source movement has changed a lot in recent years. Smith said Microsoft was on the wrong side of history during the open source expansion at the turn of the century and he shared that attitude, but the good news is that people can learn from mistakes and change. Today, Microsoft has become one of the largest contributors to open source projects and is betting on open source by owning the leading platform for open source development, GitHub.
