Huawei is not the only one. Almost all software companies have some KPI that employees are farming. (speaking from experience here)
It's probably because those with decision making authority have no idea what open source is and how it works.
That being said, China is a huge contributor to open source. For example Huawei and Alibaba are among top kernel contributors.
China is doubling down on Linux as trust for Microsoft erodes.

There is a RISC-V laptop on the way!
Specs look good. I wonder which distros will support RISC-V now?
Those who forget history often inadvertently repeat it. Some of us recall that twenty-one years ago, the most popular code hosting site, a fully Free and Open Source (FOSS) site called SourceForge, proprietarized all their code — never to make it FOSS again. Major FOSS projects slowly left Source...
Which Matrix clients are you using and why?
I managed to convince my friends to give Matrix a try. Among us we span almost all platforms. Any ideas on what clients to use would be much appreciated.
Rust equivalent for Python's shelve?
Hello all, I'm learning Rust after years of programming mainly in C/C++.
Python has a very neat shelve library: https://docs.python.org/3/library/shelve.html It's basically a dict (hash table), but is located on disk instead of memory. It's great for easy persistence and also for working with massive objects that won't fit into memory.
Is there anything similar for Rust? I could not find any, but I'm still learning Rust and could have missed it.
Pine64 is working on a RISC-V board!
This month we reveal that we are working on a powerful and affordable RISC-V single board computer, discuss PineNote’s huge software improvements and provide updates on PinePhone…
This is great for moving RISC-V to mainstream. Pine64 makes great hardware.
I don't have a TV. I'm asking to understand what it runs inside.

I love the prequels.
The prequels are the only Star Wars trilogy with sophisticated story and characters. Both the original trilogy and the sequel trash are shallow "good guys puch bad guys" movies. The prequels involve a greedy politician starting a fake war to grab more power for himself, with a corrupt jedi order unable to stop him. It's elaborate, sophisticated and fun.
It's funny how in todays world real life immitates art.
Reddit is getting worse and worse. Not sure what happened, but it started losing it's way around 2014-2015.
