Yes, free as oppose to share (look but don't touch). Microsoft releases some
stuff which it puts in CodePlex ( FoxPro two days ago
http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=320 ), but where's the chance to
innovate. More IP, less/no reuse. It's only make believe. Microsoft 'loves'
Open Source. Oh! And they say Open Source is not free. They insist. That's
the new sterotype/myth they create in order to confuse and discredit. And
I'm talking about GPL software here... they want 'innovation tax', even for
GNU utilities and related stuff...
