Slashdot has just quoted an interesting part of this interview:
"Yes, that's true, actually. I mean I have had people come up to me and
essentially off the record admit that they had been threatened by Microsoft
and had got patent cross license and had essentially taken out a license for
Microsoft patents on the free software that they were using [...] But
they're not telling anyone about it. They're completely doing it off the
record."
