[News] Microsoft Bullies OpenOffice Contributer

OpenOffice.org Design Competition Winners Announced  

,----[ Quote ]
| The sponsor, WorldLabel had enabled OO.org to offer $5000 in prizes!
| Russell Ossendryver wrote in to tell me about the results. What is
| interesting is that he adds, later in the email:
| 
|       I received C&D letter "without prejudice" from the power house
| lawyers of Microsoft Corporation telling me that Worldlabel.com is
| misusing the Microsoft Office Trademark and it must be removed to resolve
| the matter. The Logo link was on a page with free resources linking to a
| page on MS Office with free resources and has been there for 7 years. I
| have been wanting to remove it in any case and did. It seems like the
| more I will do for FOSS the more my company will get attacked.
|
| [...]
|
| Can someone tell me why Microsoft, which is obviously such a huge market 
| leader has to behave like a braindead school bully?
