Currently implements both a format hook to remove white-space paragraphs, and a check to make their existence a critical failure. In the end may implement only one or none of these, subject to major design changes.

<h1>Microsoft case: FSFE in European Court of Justice hearing</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Fresh action in the European Commission's <a href="/activities/ms-vs-eu/ms-vs-eu.html">antitrust
|
|
proceedings against Microsoft</a>: On May 24, the European Court of
|
|
Justice conducts a hearing on Microsoft's appeal against the
|
|
fine. FSFE has <a href="/activities/ms-vs-eu/timeline.html">participated
|
|
in the case</a> for a decade and will intervene on the Commission's
|
|
behalf.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Together with the Samba team, FSFE's legal counsel Carlo Piana and
|
|
President Karsten Gerloff will defend the freedom to
|
|
interoperate. They will reiterate FSFE's view that protocols and
|
|
interoperability information have no intrinsic value, but Microsoft
|
|
kept them secret so it could squelch rivals in the work group server
|
|
market.
|
|

In February 2008, the European Court of Justice slapped the software
|
|
giant with a record EUR 899 million fine in 2008.
