Microsoft warns Kenya against Open Source ..
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, September 17 2012 @ 07:54 AM EDT
I would love for someone to hold the Monopoly to these type of "we can be
held accountable" statements. I keep hearing this kind of garbage at work,
and yet no-one has been able to point to where the contracts provide the
accountability, while I can easily show where they absolve themselves of any
liability.

Microsoft warns Kenya against Open Source ..

Open source soft ware is not "non-copyrighted software"

Non-copyrighted?

Oh... so depriving a German court of authority isn't good enough... now M$ is
stripping copyright from anything it doesn't like?

There's so much wrong/contradictory with those statements they're actually kind of funny.

Microsoft's last ditch efforts:

    Somehow paint open code that the Government can actually see the problems of and fix as being worse than closed-source code where they have no choice but to wait for a patch from Microsoft.
    Somehow paint GPL'd code as "not copyright protected" - after all... Microsoft itself uses BSD code so BSD code can't possibly fall into the Umbrella Microsoft is talking about.
If that's all Microsoft has left, I think it's safe to say the GPL has won. After all - it does appear to be specifically the GPL Microsoft has a really, really strong dislike of.
