Yes, the sole reason they are doing it where ${OS}==Debian is because they think there's money to be made from it. I think you'll find that most of the hosting outfits are in it to make money - sorry if the idea that someone is allowed to make a profit upsets some sensitive types.
I don't know for Rackspace. But MS has a specific log of trying to
kill FOSS and specifically Linux, by *all means*, including technical
locking and abuse of law. I haven't seen any sign they're going to give
up anytime soon on that fight, and I don't think here is such a sign:
they earn a lot of profit and the little more they can gain with Linux
on Azure is completely negligible in comparison with the strategic goal
of killing Linux.
Maybe MS haven't any legal means to forbid their employees to work
for Linux during their free time. Otherwise, they have other reasons to
tolerate it.
