What the...?
This one looks similar to the Samsung and Fuji Xerox deals. It is
about embedded devices.
Agreement will cover intellectual property contained in hardware and software products, including certain Linux-based technologies.
Which patents does Kyocera Mita allegedly infringe on? It's safe to say that Kyocera Mita did not even ask and Microsoft would not say because, according to Microsoft, it
requires too much paper.
Hey, Novell, didn't you insist your stupid (and seminal) deal had nothing to do with patents? A lot of this can be blamed on you setting a precedence, just as
Bruce Perens and others have predicted from the very start.

Sometime unbearable too. I've told eet politely that if these attacks carry on, s/he'll have to take it somewhere else.

Also your 'caricatures' remind me very strongly of the horrible anti-Jewish propaganda cartoons in Germany 1920-1945. They are in really, really bad taste and one of the reasons why I don't respect you and your aims in the least.

Myself, I feel more and more sympathy for M$, the more I read of your blog.
Congratulations, if that's what you wanted.
