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!
Not a chance in hell MS dignifies this with a response.
Then just sign it as a middle finger to Microsoft. The more people sign it, the worse they look
Good luck but insert meme of wiping tears off with dala dollar bills.
As if ms actually gives a shit about a change.org petition

When not even Valve can muster enough motivation, I wouldn’t hold my breath on Microsoft.
Valve actively maintains SteamVR and put in a lot of work for Linux compatibility. Doing that while open sourcing the software is hard. It adds work.
However, open sourcing an abandoned piece of software costs virtually nothing, and can be a big image boost.
You’re wrong about open sourcing abandoned software being easy.
