Microsoft’s Tripping.

Monday, May 21st, 2007

On 12 May 2007, Microsoft claimed that open source softwares violated 235 of its patents. Brad Smith, Microsoft’s general counsel, broke down the alleged violations as following.

  1. Linux Kernel - 42 patents
  2. Linux’s User Interface - 65 patents
  3. OpenOffice.org Suite - 45 patents
  4. Open source email applications - 15 patents
  5. Other open source softwares - 68 patents

While this claim does not sound convincing to me at all, listen to what the involved parties have to say.
