Why the hostility? Because Linspire turned into a Linux foe shortly after it had received payments from Microsoft.

It was NOT Linspire's "Chairman" who resigned, but their CEO. Linspire's Chairman has always been Michael Robertson, and he is still Linspire's Chairman. It was their CEO, Kevin Carmony, who resigned and moved on to other non-Linux related ventures. Michael Robertson has several ventures, and has for years, not just Linspire. It's not unusual for a Chairman to be involved in multiple companies.

John,
Yes, I know this and I thought the text made it clear. Carmony and others appear to have left, but it also looks like the chairman puts his eyes on other projects (unless it's a case of handling many projects, as always).
One of our readers is working to help GNU through the maze of software patents and maze of patent lawsuits, which aren't the same thing but are somewhat overlapping issues
Microsoft-connected patent trolls in Europe [...] Now, in his new job, Wild can use his 'expertise' to help guide blackmail/extortion to better harm Europe's industry
We'll soon (maybe next year) also show that some of the 85+ KG of legal papers sent our way are computer-generated garbage, which might run afoul of some rules
