Ask RedMonk: Open Source Indemnification - the Q&A
,----[ Quote ]
| While it remains possible - at least as long as Ballmer is at the helm - that
| Microsoft could pursue litigation against customers, I think highly unlikely.
|
| For a brand that relies highly on rank and file recognition and adoption,
| pursuing an RIAA-style course of action that includes legal action against
| its direct customers would be the worst kind of brand suicide. So while
| Ballmer might hint at such actions in attempt to disincent usage and adoption
| of the technologies, it’s unlikely that it would go further than that. If not
| because of the PR implications, then because of the mutually assured
| destruction scenarios that would likely result in retaliatory lawsuits from
| competitive vendors with patent portfolios of their own.

The Biggest Blunder: Or why Red Hat and Novell just left the door wide open to
Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| In recent announcements both Red Hat and Novell made it pretty clear that
| their foray onto the desktop would be delayed quite a bit longer. What they
| do not know is that they just left the door wide open for Ubuntu to conquer
| the desktop and the server space.
