I seriously doubt anyone having 100 million and able to think an offer like this through to be
that stupid. The most likely conclusion is that the one making this offer has malicious intent
towards Linux. All the indications points towards Microsoft so the first thing to check before
making any deeper investigations is them. Just like you always check the cables if you have a
network faliure before you start meddling with MTU and stuff.

Keeping an open mind does not imply to throw your intuition overboard.

I have worked in finance for more than 10 years, and there are certainly plenty of
distressed-investing hedge funds who would invest 100mm USD without necessarily understanding
too much about the IBM/Novell litigation.  There are all sorts of ways to make money out of a
distressed investment, many of which are far from obvious to the regular person even if they
have some understanding of investing.

Its not a foregone conclusion that MS are behind this.
