Microsoft Settlement Compliance Criticized

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the definition-of-sharing-slightly-skewed dept.

Jeremy Allison - Samba Team writes "A report on the Microsoft "release" of communication protocols, as required by the proposed settlement. Article from the Washington Post. Speaking for the Samba Team, we can't look at these documents as they require signing an NDA before even getting the terms of release. Jeremy Allison, Samba Team."

    MS were told to open the protocols to whomever wants to see them. They did EXACTLY what they've been told to do. You can come in tomorrow, sign the freakin' NDA, pay the freakin' fee and enjoy the bliss of opennes of protocols. IBM can do it. RH can do it. Even stinkin' Sun can do it. They have to pay, so what, developers don't work for free you know. Neither do testers and program managers.
