Shuttleworth: Microsoft Does Not Want War

Shuttleworth responded to a question about the possibility of Microsoft making patent claims against open-source code by saying: "I don't believe Microsoft will file suit against free software developers. It would be tantamount to declaring nuclear war. ... And I can afford it."

What? Someone "copying" Microsoft?

 

[Turiko]

The problem is Microsoft steals and then claims it was it's own when the authors seek recourse.

the movie anti-trust comes to mind...

Shuttleworth is my hero. Would love a job at Canonical

 

[icyrus]

If Microsoft had any valid patent claims they would have disclosed them already.

Huh? Which company has now developed a "Red Screen of Death" or other rip-off of M$'s only true innovation, ever?
