Posted in Boycott Novell at 6:23 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Imagine how surprised we would be if half-truths, inconsistencies, or inaccuracies were involved. But no. It turns out that, in order for Microsoft to defend its anti-Linux case, it turned a report upside-down.

The author of a report used by Microsoft as evidence of open source patent infringement has said that his report means the opposite of what Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said it means.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is having some of its own patent ‘fun’. $1,500 million of Microsoft’s money is apparently not enough for Alcatel-Lucent. Let us wish them luck.

Alcatel-Lucent said in a court filing that $1.5 billion is not enough to properly compensate it for Microsoft Corp.’s infringement of two digital audio patents.

It has become clear that a patent system which is too lenient has fallen apart.
