Legally, an emergency use authorization cannot be approved, if there's an effective treatment or prophylactic. There were billions of $ at play for the vaccine. This along with the potential to damage Trump and excercise power over people were powerful motivators to "forget" contrary information.
I would place a huge bet that some of those billions now belong to him.

Today we’re very excited to announce the open-source release of the Windows Subsystem for Linux. This is the result of a multiyear effort to prepare for this, and a great closure to the first ever issue raised on the Microsoft/WSL repo:Windows Developer Blog
From the repo's CONTRIBUTING.md:
Most contributions require you to agree to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
Meh, a permissive license + a copyright transfer means this shit is just a potential rugpull. MSFT can change the license of the project to source-available or even proprietary at any time and you'll be powerless to stop it.
CLA is basically a requirement for any larger scale open source project. It would be mental to add a "this single edited line is licensed under X license" to every tiny commit. Microsoft's CLA does not tranfer rights btw, it just licenses your contribution to M$ under "basically BSD 0 clause license" terms.
I guess sure they could do a ragpull but it does not make much sense. Reasons:
1) they have open sourced it themselves
2) It's made by M$ for M$. They don't have competition in the Windows space, so there is no point to hide the code.
Also what would be the worst thing that could happen if they did that? You would either use a fork, because WSL2 is basically feature complete at this points, or you would be have to use a proprietary app on a proprietary OS. Imo the licensing of WSL specifically is the least of Windows' issues.
You absolutely do not need a CLA with a copyright transfer. There are plenty of large projects that use a Developer Certificate of Origin that protects the company while not allowing them to change the license of your contribution.
I'll grant that my original post was pissy and angry and not a great take, however. You make good points here.
Does the DCO really offer a real guarantee? it looks like it just adds a Signed-off-by John
line at the end of the commit, with no actual signature checking that enforces any particular version of a particular document is being acknowledged. IANAL but it doesn't look like something proven to work in court to give legal protection.
Sure, it's easier to simply add a sign-off-by line than actually accepting a legal agreement, so it reduces the barrier of entry, but if this were really enough to establish the conditions to shift liability then I don't see why companies wouldn't start using their own DCOs and extending them, essentially being the equivalent to a CLA (which is a license agreement, not a copyright transfer, even if some might add terms that allow relicensing.. which anyway is moot point when the original license is MIT anyway).
These are good points. I was in a shitty mood when I made my comment and upon reflection, it's an overstatement and not a very good take. I do still strongly support copyleft licenses and DCOs over CLAs, but I shouldn't turn my nose up when something is released without those.
I used to be excited when companies open-sourced stuff, and that is no longer the case. I suppose I'm just frustrated and bitter and cynical when it comes to large companies doing good things.
