Oh "we believe" do we, Asheesh Raina?

And how much of Microsoft's source code have "we" compared to the
alleged infringing FOSS source code, in order to establish this
"belief", I wonder?

Or does "research" mean "read the script Microsoft handed us" now?

You've gotta laugh at FUDies claiming Microsoft is being *exploited*.

ROTF!
