Isn't it ironic that the best way Microsoft thinks it can deal with
open-source software is to spread lies about it and hint at lawsuits:

One particular tasty quote:
"We think our software is far more secure than open-source software.
It
is more secure because we stand behind it, we fixed it, because we
built
it. Nobody ever knows who built open-source software," he added.
What planet is this guy living on?
