The last month of 2007 was pretty exciting, with the
|
|
biggest news being the release of interoperability information by Microsoft in
|
|
connection with the European antitrust case. The SAMBA project has arranged
|
|
full access to specifications necessary for communication competitive
|
|
alternatives to Microsoft's proprietary products. Of course, this does not
|
|
mean that Microsoft's monopolistic behaviour has been resolved. A new
|
|
antitrust case may be undertaken after complaints by Opera Software that
|
|
Microsoft has willfully distorted the web browser marketplace. It's
|
|
also important to note that this does not in any way solve the problem
|
|
with patents on software. Such patents are still being granted by the
|
|
European Patent Office (EPO) in violation of current law, and the FSFE is
|
|
encouraging the European Commission to take actions to permanently abolish
|
|
patents on software, both in theory and practice.
