MSFT Patent Links

Matt Asay: Some of the best thoughts on Microsoft's patent poll tax

Eben Moglen Video Goodness I love listening to him speak.

Jonathan Schwartz: That's not a genie any litigator I know can put back in a bottle.

I have to say, that Fortune magazine article was some pretty bad PR.

Viva FOSS! Viva Freedom! Viva Transparency! Viva free thinking clever people that do stuff!

MSFT and Adobe

Well, jeeze, this is going to get interesting, isn't it?

I'm looking forward to hearing more details on "Microsoft is expected to show a new friendliness to the open-source community by unveiling plans to release the source code to a part of its Silverlight technology at MIX 07 next week, according to sources familiar with the company's plans."

Will this be shared source or open source - like with non-MSFT committers and what not?

Update: So I read through a bunch of stuff and I still don't quite "get it". Multi-platform means Winders and OS X? Em, I thought MSFT sold Linux now? No Linux? But Flex runs on Winders, Linux, Solaris, and OS X? Also, didn't find any details on the OSS details - anyone see any?
