How Microsoft Uses Open Against Open
,----[ Quote ]
| This is doubtless happening all over the place in science, which means that
| many simply forget that there are alternatives to Microsoft's products.
| Instead - quite understandably - they concentrate on the science. But what
| this implies is that however open that science may be, however much it pushes
| forward open access and open data, say, its roots are likely remain in the
| arid soil of closed source, and that Microsoft's money has the effect of
| co-opting supporters of these other kinds of openness in its own battle
| against the foundational openness of free software.
