-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If the so called "IP infringement" were true, and knowing the record of Microsoft in regards to this, wouldn't they have sued Red Hat already... like years ago? It is always the same case, some PR guy from Microsoft (even if it is Ballmer himself) steps up and says "Linux infringes on Microsoft's patents and IP" the genius (because it is genius in a twisted kind of way) of this is that they will NEVER tell which patents and /or other IP does Linux (as a whole) infringes. They could even claim that it does infringe the multimedia patents for their file formats, etc... But they also know that such programs aren't installed by default, so it is only a smoke curtain to try and stop people (corporations) from adopting Linux.... (I hate the example, but it is much like the RIAA, menacing to sue individuals, rather than those companies providing the software). I wonder if there would be Class-Action suit against Microsoft over these claims and then force them to either shut the heck up or show which patents does "Linux" infringe. I live outside the US, so I couldn't possibly join to the Class-Action (though I'd love to) and stop this nonsense once and for all. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGSg67XM+XOp70dwoRAl/5AJ98vjqRxNk314h5KOBVppDbbCjWRACfbK/I f8V3MKnVP0psy4HP8oYin9s= =9iXD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
