Of course Microsoft has bullied programmers from releasing their code because it contains patents that Microsoft claims it owns. Yes, against small time people who cant afford the tens or houndred of thousands of money to get the patent revoked.
One highly publized example is VirtualDub which no longer support the.asf file format since Microsoft sent them a threat to stop VirtualDyb from using.asf files.
So yes Microsoft has no qualms about using their patents to stop open software being developed.

There is an election this month in Sweden. The alleged crime was committed last year and until mars this year but not publicly known until now just before the election.
You take your pick of who has done most to use this to win the election.
Everyone should of course always go clad in burka and all images or description or films of people clad with less than that should be forbidden!
It should even be forbidden to talk about naked people.
They dont have too go up 6% every two days - just 6% once in a while and the rest of the time just going down a little each day.
They can have X stocks - and take the last in the list and do a pump n dump in that stock. Then X days later do the same - because then the stock most certainly has regainded the old level - or even less than that as the suckers has sold the stocks they where lured into buying.
You're only using activites real encryption specialists - have already for a long time - thought upon. I disagree - dont think adding an extra layer will help much. Probably better to just hide the message in plain view. Like in a comment on slashdot:-)
Its nothing strange about them at all. Politics and Money goes hand in hand:
- If one has gold one can use it to get rulings.
- If one have power one can use rulings to gain gold.
So the reason Microsoft is in trouble is that they did not spend enough money to get the ruling they wanted.
The reason Microsoft got easy off in the USA was the fact that they paid enough money to get the original ruling overthrown and changed the goverment to one more friendly to their cause by investing in politicians.

Actually EU has NO LAW governing patents whats so ever. So EU cant say squat right now. There has been several atempts to get get laws into place to get EU governance over patent laws within EU countries but they have been thrown out. Mostly because of the software patent issue.
Many countries in EU dont allow software patents although EPO allows them - this a struggle for EPO to get all countries to accept software patents and althugh it is against the foundation from which EPO once was created.
A simple solution to an hard problem has been done before Columbus.
The gordian knot was solved by Alexander the Great:
"In 333 BC, wintering at Gordium, Alexander attempted to untie the knot. When he could find no end to the knot, to unbind it, he sliced it in half with a stroke of his sword, producing the required ends (the so-called "Alexandrian solution"). Some traditions dispute this, and say that he pulled the knot out of its pole pin, rather than cutting it. Either way, Alexander did go on to conquer Asia."
Its FUD since the same applies - and more so - for any close source project.
The good part of a successfull open source project is that a lot more people has seen the source code and thus knows something about the project. The number of people who knows the code for a closed source project is much less and thus a lot more knowledge are in the heads of fewer people for closed source program code - should they disappear then the problem will be much worse for a closed source project than for any open source project.
Actually he was found innocent in the swedish supreme court(Högsta domstolen- HD).
The reason of holding the speach in the first place was to get it to HD so he could test the laws regaring the relationship of free speach, freedom of religion and laws against hate crimes.
No need to sue. They just send an request to the Chancellor of Justice (JK) to get compensated for any injust apprehensions. JK will then award them a sum of money to compensate for the hardship but only if they get aquitted or not procecuted for any wrongdoings.
This is how its done in Sweden. The sum is often not very large - unless one spend several years in prison and later on are deemed not gulty.
Sweden is a civilized country - no need to sue the goverment.
Actually this has heppend because of EU - had not EU existed; the data retention laws would probably not existed within EU and no data would have been sent to the US.
The data retention directive was rushed through the legislative process so as to NOT make it possibel for those opposing it to gather enough momentum to be able to stop it. The countries where the discussion about data retention was big the MEP voted against the directive en masse. The countries where it never was discussed publicly - it basically was aproved en masse.
So many poeple was against it that the MEP and their assistance was swamped in email about it. Before the vote on the matter EU complain that countrys like Sweden was basically mail-bombing the MEPs to vote against the directive.
So even though the swedish minister of justice was the one who put fort the proposal the majority of the swedish MEPs voted against it.
You just have to build the comoputer from scratch to have a secure computer - and write all software on it.
From a secure computer its trivial to make an DVD-ROM that one can boot other secure computers from it.
One can NEVER buy a secure computer because when one buy one one can never ensure that the computer has not been infected before its sold. That includes all computers with "Trusted Copmputing" - so make your own computer if you want to be 100% secure.
The OS can protect the system from stupid users so they can't do anything damaginng.
In Linux and other UNIX-like OS its trivial to set it up so a ignorant user never can download a random file from Internet or save an email attachment and then execute it so it infects the computer. Just give the user a home directory which may not contain executable files.
In Windows this nearly requires an masters in CS to be able to do.
Linux are better for home users and non-computer literate users since its easy to become safe from email viruses and web viruses. If you want security go with a UNIX-like operating system and set it up so ignorant users CAN'T infect the system.
One don't need anti-virus programs in Linux since one can use the OS to protect against ignorant users.

People should stop:
1. Buy faulty software
2. Hire incompetent system administrators.

Actually presenting it just 14 days before the election would be just enough time to change the peoples votes in the election to secure the election.

No it won't reboot your servers - because one don't have to reboot a Linux system to upgrade the X Window System.
Its Linux we're talking about.
It might upgrade X11 though - but thats a good thing.
