Spinmeistering in advance for increase in GPL'd software. The BSA has long put the interesting of Microsoft ahead of it's other members, most notably Novell, often forcing violators to replace illegal copies of competing software with MS products. MS' attempt at gaining entrance to the server room has plateaued and what little increase that was made came at the expense of Novell. Now MS is facing losing both that AND a good chunk of the desktop market to Linux distros and other GPL'd software. MS (through BSA) needs to keep minds turned away from the loss of these markets and from GPL'd software.
