Microsoft & Linux Vendors Trading in Patent Fool's Gold
,----[ Quote ]
| What does Microsoft get out of the deals? They get to shamelessly
| accuse our community of wrongdoing without ever having to prove
| it in court. They get to advertise that they are working to enforce
| their patents - you know, the ones that should never have been
| granted to begin with. They will likely even use the deals to
| claim all manner of "victories" over our community.

Roads to the GPL

| The central thesis of the GPL is that you can do anything you like with
