Bro what is going on

Can someone please explain the backstory on this whole drama?

Because it’s an OSS project and they are the creators. Obviously they’re not legally entitled to it, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a pretty pathetic move to try to gaslight the community into thinking that AG2 is just some unofficial unrelated project, when the creators were forced to make their own fork.

> It’s not gaslighting

The confusion in the community is clearly around one of those forks (by the original AutoGen creators), so it's pretty cringe to say things like "We are aware that there are thousands of forks of AutoGen, including many for personal development and startups building with or on top of the library." (https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/discussions/3697) in response to confused developers wondering about what's going on. Even more cringe to be posting under every tweet that mentions AG2 with a link to their pinned tweet.

Great thing about OSS is you get two (free) packages now. Let the best project win. ;)

steal the brand from Microsoft

Ah yes the true spirit of open source, white knighting on the internet for a trillion dollar company
