Story: Microsoft opens up more code

•

Nothing Microsoft has ever done, has been on the up and up.
(Except MAYBE (and emphasis on maybe) sue spammers!)

So Microsoft is littering the Open Source world with open source code, which it no doubt wants to see end up magically appear in other peoples (GPL'd or not) software.

THEN, pull the carpet out from under everyone, by showing your hidden patents.
And then sue, sue, sue, sue. Excellent way to extinguish open source altogether.

I HOPE no one is buying this crap, and poisoning their minds by looking at the code.

Either way, there IS a purely self serving motive here.

Gee, what a nice game!

P.S. Notice how 'Mickeysoft' only open sources software that they bought and didn't actually write...?
