FSF fights 'unfair' Microsoft license
Lawyers for the Free Software Foundation are calling on governments to reject Microsoft's proposed license agreement, since it excludes free/open source software by its insistence on pay-per-copy and non-disclosure of source code. Microsoft was ordered to draw up a 'reasonable and non-discriminatory' license, allowing rivals to develop software fully interoperable with their systems, following last year's anti-trust lawsuit. Now the FSF say the license is not compatible with the GPL, and hence is discriminatory. See here for more details.
