FWIW, F# is an open source project controlled by the F# Software Foundation, the .NET Foundation, and Microsoft.

It is controlled by Microsoft. It's not going on my Linux or BSD boxes.
I know how they work, and I want nothing to do with them.
Do you make sure to run a linux kernel with all the MS stuff patched out also?
No, but if it came in the standard install there's nothing I can do about it save spending hours and hours auditing my install. I don't do that kind of thing nowadays.
Separately installed software? Not a bit of it.
