| Just as a fighter plane throws out flares left and right in order to
| distract heat-seeking missiles, Microsoft throws out these morsels
| from time to time in order to try and unsettle its competitors. And
| it tries to win over those it can, using the one thing of which it
| has plenty - money.
|
| And that's the only thing which Microsoft understands.

Microsoft GPLv3 "statement"
,----[ Quote ]
| According to the GPLv3 lawyers, they're "procuring the distribution of" GPL'd
| software, and that requires permission from the copyright holder. So
| Microsoft are either distributing under the permissions which the GPL grants
| them, or they are violating copyright.
