FYI...MS has been exploiting *Everyone* since the beginning
Lets not forget the Kerberos authentication in Windows 2000 and the source
code which was not made available...
Regardless of which camp MS steals from, Source will never be made public
and everyone knows it...
SCO is now trying to pull the same nonsense as well after "borrowing code"
from BSD from UCB and claiming ownership and IP rights...
Regards,
Evan

After all that shit with the Egov OS conference, lo and Behold, they are
exploiting BSD in their SHARED SECRET garbage.
This points out 2 things. First, the BSD license SUCKS, and it doesn't
provide sufficient protections for the community or the individual
developers in protecting their freedom
Secondly, how many free rides do we have to give Microsoft before you demand
the same standards of behavior that we would of any other vendor at these
"LINUX" or "Open Source" promotions.
