Microsoft also claims "The Free Software movement is dead. Linux doesn't exist
in 2007." @ http://www.bangkokpost.com/090507_Database/09May2007_data05.php
Don't take anything too serious until judged by the highest court, like
http://www.itweek.co.uk/vnunet/news/2189700/court-ruling-patently-clear
Quote from there: "A US patent grants exclusive rights to use for 20 years.
The Supreme Court ruling effectively calls for more rigorous criteria for the
granting of patents."
