Please tell me why Microsoft should give these parasites anything for free?
If they were so innovative, how come all of their software is a clone of Microsoft's. Where is their innovative bent?
Furthermore, just because their software if (supposedly) free, does Microsoft, which pours $6 billion US into R&D have to give them anything.
Com'mon, guys! Create something new. License it to Microsoft and man+dog and watch the royalties roll in.
You are waiting for a judge to fight a business, not a legal, but a business, battle for you.
To listen to the shill/mouthpiece talk about 'pointless'. Guy, is all your work pro bono? Get a real job! This is business, not socialism.
Grow up!
