Slides Of Microsoft Anti-GPL Advocacy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday January 4, 2003 @07:17AM from the so-don't-use-it dept.

An anonymous reader links to these slides outlining Microsoft's position on Free software licenses, in particular the GPL, writing "Regarding the latest memo from MSFT, the current politics is to be against 'copyleft' type licensing... Protecting freedom is fundamental for Free Software and MSFT knows that. They don't want licenses that protect our freedom." Makes an interesting companion piece to the anti-OSS memo mentioned the other day.

Shouldn't this be a Powerpoint presentation?

You don't say? I think it looks like MS is getting its ass kicked ... I've at least kicked their software off my computers. Well, except the Win98 I have to keep on the disk for tax reasons, of all things!
