| Presently there are four multi-billion dollar companies that have a very
| significant open source element to their businesses: IBM, Sun, Novell, and
| Red Hat (you could make an argument for HP and Dell too if you like).

| As money flows into an industry that was once largely dismissed as

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.
