| As I've noted before, I am something of a connoisseur of Microsoft's
| FUD against open source, in part because I believe each successive
| FUD-flavour of the month gives important hints about the evolution
| of the thinking and strategy within the company. The latest
| development in this area, which revolves around patents, is no exception
| - not least because I think people are drawing the wrong conclusions
| from it.
