Microsoft Grabs Some Code for its ODF Plugin... From the ODF Fellowship
,----[ Quote ]
| It seems that when Microsoft was looking to build its new ODF plugin, it
| took a short cut. It seems to have grabbed some code from the OpenDocument
| Fellowship's program that converts ODF to HTML, written by J. David
| Eisenberg. His code is released under a dual license, the LGPL and the
| Apache 2.0 license. Microsoft has put it into its ODF plugin, which
| is licensed under the BSD license.

As I said before, Microsoft feared having third-parties with permissive
licences taking over Office. It was never a case of good will.
