Have a look at the following video.
Over the years, Europe has maintained its sanity and sidled with logic. It acknowledged that fact that software patents must not exist. Some hypothesise (and almost even surmise) that Microsoft's timing in this attack was carefully planned as to manipulate discussions about (and possibly change) European patent laws.
Microsoft's claim that Linux infringes its patents was dismissed today as a tactic to spoil a European conference on rationalising the law on the subject.
Given Mozilla's utterly rubbish marketing these days (politics over technical aspects), set aside the cheerleading for slop, there's hardly a chance of Mozilla Firefox reaching or exceeding 10% again
"before that, every distro that wanted to respect its users' freedom had to remove itself all of the binary blobs that were distributed as part of the kernel Linux's so-called sources"
