Enough about Microsoft alreadyEnough about Microsoft alreadyPosted Nov 22, 2003 13:26 UTC (Sat) by rev (guest, #15082)In reply to: Enough about Microsoft already by Peter Parent article: A new source of anti-GPL FUD
Where did I say that it is only Redmond at work? However, I do observe that it is primarily Redmond that has been vocal in spewing anti-GPL propaganda. However, theoretically, you are right, it may be other parties, excluding Redmond, that fear the GPL that are involved in this, or none other than SCO. Given this SCO license purchase by MS dating back a few months, however, MS is, at least loosely, involved. But if I where MS, seeing that my FUD campaign thus far has failed, I would do do something similar to this, it is basically the only option I would have. I have no direct evidence that this is a MS FUD campaign. However, to my judgement, it is the simplest theory that explains all of what is happening, including the comparative silence on the part of MS in its anti Linux communications. So I'll keep it as my working hypothesis. But I'm willing to change my opinion should facts arise that are not consistent with my hypothesis or a theory is propoesed that is even simpler and consistent with reality.
