I don't know about the US, but in Germany there are ways to stop somebody telling lies about somebody else in public.

If I was a Linux developer, I would sue the ass out of this guy and M$.

In German we call this "ehrabschneidend" of which slander(ing) is not the full translation.

This issue MUST be solved once and forever, I think.

Linux source code is there for all the world to see.
Why doesn't M$ post their code so we can see how much
is stolen from outside sources? Billy Bob and his pet
monkey boy won't want to play that game. Microsoft is
not doing anything exotic why not open their code if
it really is their code? I bet a lot of innovative
little companies would be surprized to see how brazenly
Microsoft has stolen their code. I will never believe
Microsoft believes in IP until they show to the world
without an NDA that their code is clean. Put up or
shut up Billy.
