Re: The new licensing model

The problem is with Microsoft management not the technology.

That is why the remedy must remove power from corrupt management.
Otherwise, you will be required to implement an enormous amount of
regulations and rules.  And, the court is ill-suited to do that.

This is the most cogent statement I have read from this hand. I find it hard to disagree.

 

But I do feel that the power you speak of is based not on some excess larceny in the heart of management but in the licenses they are granted to use it by not having to disclose one jot of code, along with the rest of the world. I do not see them being unique in this regard other than having overachieved at it.

 

You do not have to ask the Court to set the guidelines and maintain a vigil. The Court's findings are sufficient to warrant a legislative assessment of the granting process. Case closed.

 

I apologize in advance for the simplicity of this notion.
