This article is an embarrassment to InfoWorld. If there is a court
fight, the Software Freedom Law Center will be leading it, and they
have plenty of funds from IBM, HP, et. al. The GPLv3 was written by
the SFLC along with the top attorneys from the aforementioned major
technology companies, they had a conference call every other week for
18 months! MicroSoft knows they aren't suing the FSF, they are suing
the rest of the tech business community.
If I was editing InfoWorld, I'd examine my quality processes.

@ Savio, I think jwwjr went a little over the line. It's a blog and
comments/discussion is what makes it a brainstorm, not just factual
statements. That's where ideas can be formed.
Keep up the good work.
