This case is a reminder to everyone that if they want to
create free software, they must do it without looking at
proprietary software in order to avoid suspicion of IP
violation.

I now see a second motivation (beside its wanting to appear
"open") for Microsoft to decide to "share" its source code
with some of its customers. Anyone who has seen that code
is now contaminated -- they can no longer safely write free
software!
