Microsoft Steps Up Open-Source Battle
,----[ Quote ]
| "I'm stunned that after taking a number of seemingly positive steps
| vis-a-vis its thinking and strategy around open source, Microsoft has
| decided to blow away any bridges it built in a matter of weeks," long
| time Microsoft pundit Mary Jo Foley opined.
|
| She noted that Microsoft's threat to sue had backfired, and pointed
| to a website that lists over 300 open-source supporters that are
| openly asking Microsoft to sue them over alleged patent infringement.
|
| Microsoft is now in a tough predicament. Either it must stick to its
| guns, or attempt to back off and sweep what could become a public
| relations disaster under the rug.

SCO was Microsoft's patent warm-up act
,----[ Quote ]
| In this case, it looks like SCO was a definite precursor to
| Microsoft's patent charade, what with a "right to use" Linux,
| covenants not to sue, etc. Meager minds think alike?
