Anybody signed an agreement? Do we gave to MS any BTS rights to let us get on Azure?
As the community member that submitted the initial pull request to Microsoft for the BitShares Template, I can resolve this question with a definitive "No, BitShares is not granted to Microsoft." Further, it is not the intention of Microsoft to 'own' any of these blockchain submissions, rather sell compute time on their Azure platform. Please note, as an individual I signed a contribution clause with Microsoft prior to submitting the template that basically said I would not knowingly upload anything malicious. Cass would have signed the same statement when he corrected the spelling in the Readme file a few hours after my original submission.
Please review the Contribution Guide Microsoft provide for BaaS submissions for further details of the requirements:
