SPUG: Microsoft says Linux, open source violate patents

Tue May 15 15:22:06 PDT 2007

... And still no specifics. Does anyone have a list of the exact patents
that are alleged to be infringed upon? I suppose I could (theoretically)
state the very same claim as McBill but unless I can show facts and data
then there is little recourse. 

My thanks to Mr. Wolf for notifying me I had responded to the group
improperly.
