Comments on: Does Apache Show That Money Talks? http://techrights.org/2008/10/30/apache-ms-sponsorship/ Free Software Sentry – watching and reporting maneuvers of those threatened by software freedom Fri, 25 Nov 2016 09:41:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.14 By: HarryTuttle http://techrights.org/2008/10/30/apache-ms-sponsorship/comment-page-1/#comment-31246 Fri, 31 Oct 2008 09:24:11 +0000 http://boycottnovell.com/2008/10/30/apache-ms-sponsorship/#comment-31246 As the picture above suggests:
The war against FOSS already begun.
It’s not been anounced openly, but the enemy has been defined long before (Halloween, cancer, communistic) and the thoughtful planned actions to hurt and weaken the growing “threat” to MS are tarnished by newspeak and contradicting behavior from the convicted Mono-polist as to not draw to much attention and legal charges again.

MS can’t really win, because they cannot “magically” remove the source-code overnight and all causalties they try to fight return eventually under a new free license (StarOffice, Netscape) to attack them even stronger.

Patents and incompatibility (deviding the landscape) are the only hopes left for MS to survive its old pattern.
