Open-Source ID Project Awaits Microsoft's Blessing

An anonymous reader writes to mention that an open-source alternative to Microsoft's CardSpace tool has been on hold for months while they await patent blessing from the Redmond software giant. "While CardSpace is available on Windows, one goal of the Higgins project is to cover other operating systems. Higgins wants to offer an open-source alternative that works on Windows and on alternatives such as Linux and Mac OS X. The application would work similarly to CardSpace."

Open source developers cannot do this because of EGO they have to have their name in NEON LIGHTS, and thus they get sued, and the concept of open source fails in this scenario. What we need is not only OPEN source but also ANONYMOUS source, but that wont happen with the ego development model.
