The next test balloon from M$ seems to be a license trick. The "Mobile Internet Toolkit" comes with a license, that forbids the use together with "viral software" - meaning free software under GPL, LGPL and MPL. I read this in http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/ebusiness/0,1518,141719,00.html (unfortunately german).
One english article: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/zd/20010702/tc/ms_attacks_open_source_1.html but I can't find the license agreement itself.. MS have taken it off the original location; maybe you only get it when you download the stuff? (but you get straight to the download without clicking any agreement at all) - http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?URL=/code/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/001/516/msdncompositedoc.xml Graham _______________________ http://www.oekonux.org/
