Chris Rankin,

Good response. I fail to understand why many still interpret the decree to be about "opening" source code. I t has, and is the same in the US decree, always been about fair rights to interface with MS products...not about their source code. Specs for the protocols allow all products to interface, source code only solves one instance within that world.
