  1. Effect on OSS code writers by elwing · · Score: 2, Redundant

    In addition to the security implications this has, think about the implications this has on OSS writers? Previously, M$ tried to show the souce code to Windows to college students in the hope that they couldn't write OSS code because they'd have seen the Windows source.

    This gives M$ a leg to stand on if they attempt to claim that any OSS has Windows code in it.

    Any OSS writer that manages to get the code should proceed with caution.
