What MS is forgetting to inform everyone is that they now have a financial interest in the outcome of this completely asinine lawsuit, for it will be MS that will supposedly set up the licensing requirements, the keycodes, and the time limit on the keycodes, which I have found out from a pretty reliable source, is only a 1 year licensed keycode. Mr. Gates sees an opportunity to see a major thorn in his side and in his profit and control over the market shares being removed, giving him proxy control on who controls the Linux code, and who can use it. If he doesn't take it all and incorporate it into the next versions of windows.
