Story: Microsoft's antitrust offering 'blocks Samba'

The next step after this is approved:
Microsoft sues the developers of Samba on their next release, saying "Prove you didn't see our specs". If THAT doesn't work, they'll work with a 'trojan developer' that has seen the specs, and get Samba yanked (with full press coverage) the moment a patch is accepted from him. The Samba folk will immediately pull the patch, but MS will claim that ALL the developers of Samba are using their spec, because they saw and understood the source, so NONE of them can develop for an OSS Samba.
PLEASE let the EU not be this foolish.
