Summary: Dr. Richard Stallman, the Free Software Foundation's founder, outlines his hypothetical plan for making corporations split into smaller units in order to reduce tax payments
Here is
an article with the idea, stating: "Using anti-trust law now to split up a company requires a lawsuit, and many large companies can make that costly – as Microsoft did each time it was convicted. Corporations can also use their political influence to avoid being split, as Microsoft did when last convicted."
