Microsoft's indemnification offer
Microsoft has put out a press release stating that its indemnification guarantees now apply to all users of most of its software offerings. "Microsoft's ability to offer strong protection is bolstered by the
company's commitment to managing the intellectual property rights in its
software. This commitment includes development process controls, inbound
licensing of necessary third-party rights, cross-licensing agreements with
other industry leaders, and protection of Microsoft innovations through patent
and copyright."

Microsoft's indemnification offer Posted Nov 10, 2004 19:51 UTC (Wed) by The_Flatlander (guest, #19245) [Link] I have to say... Microsoft's *kind* offer to indemnify users of their crap^w software against IP Lawsuits impresses me as just a wee bit disingenuous, at best, given that Microsoft is well known as the company most likely to sue users of Microsoft crap^w software.
[shrug]
Maybe this works for people foolish enough to intentionally use Microsoft crap^w software.

Microsoft's indemnification offer Posted Nov 10, 2004 21:05 UTC (Wed) by ncm (subscriber, #165) [Link] Now, now. Microsoft doesn't sue its own customers. The BSA sues Microsoft's customers. Actually, they don't usually sue. They just threaten to sue, and settle, er, amicably. Of course there's no connection between MS and the BSA.
