</a><br></blockquote></div><br><br>Actually, I think someone in the US should sue Microsoft for damages on grounds of slander or libel or whatever it's called in the US legal system.<br><br>You see, they have been saying this repeatedly over time, without specifying it or without any lawsuits.
<br>One could claim in court that this way, MS (being such a.. prominent player) is giving F/OSS users/makers a bad name in software land, scaring customers that don't know any better away from using F/OSS, thus damaging reputations and affecting revenues.
<br>All it takes is a clever attorney to make it happen - force MS to put their cards on the table, or just shut their hypocritical mouth. :)<br><br>As a European, I'm not *yet* likely to be affected by any of this, but you never know how this patent this will develop...
