<p>Did you know Microsoft was convicted of software piracy last year by
a
<br>French court? Not many people do. The Commercial Court of Nanterre
fined
<br>Microsoft 3 million francs because it illegally included another company's
<br>proprietary source code in SoftImage 3D, a top-of-the-line animation
<br>package.
<p>The only authoritative report on the event was written by Lionel
<br>Berthomier and first published in the French paper, Le Monde Informatique.
<br> An English version was reprinted at PCWorldMalta on November
28, 2001 --
<br>about two months after the court's decision. Both Le Monde Informatique
<br>and PCWorldMalta are affiliated with IDG, the parent of InfoWorld and
<br>LinuxWorld. Yet, neither of these sites published a word about Microsoft's
<br>conviction on September 27, 2001.
