А Microsoft, оказывается, использует код ESR (Eric Raymond).
Забавная ситуация, особенно учитывая ненависть микрософта ко всему опенсорсному.

Дима, с чего ты решил, что у МС ненависть?

[dmitry-vk.livejournal.com]

Это у мс с самого начала. Начиная с того самого «Open Letter to Hobbyists». Да и они сами об этом постоянно говорят. Но не в этом суть;)

Пардон, что встреваю, но Майкрософт не ненавидит опенсорс. Это предрассудок или ошибка - уж как хотите называйте.

Может, и так:) Я лишь говорю, что вижу:) А видно много.

1. Ballmer: “Linux is a cancer” | The Register


2. ENT News Online | News: Ballmer: Open Source is Not Trustworthy


3. Ballmer: We'll outsmart open source | Tech News on ZDNet


4. Microsoft claims software like Linux violates its patents


5. Ballmer: All open source dev should happen on Windows | Reg Developer


6. «People who use Red Hat, at least with respect to our intellectual property, in a sense have an obligation to eventually compensate us.»


7. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on May 14 claimed that "Linux violates over 228 patents. Someday, for all countries that are entering WTO [the World Trade Organization], somebody will come and look for money to pay for the patent rights for that intellectual property."


8. Still, Ballmer--never known to mince words--is quick to point out where he sees Linux lacking. "The Linux client hardly runs any applications except a bunch of shareware stuff that’s not very good," he said. "There has yet to be any innovation, new features, new capabilities out of the Linux platform.

Bill Gates:

1. «In the free software vision is that there would be no jobs in the software industry, there would be no testers, no engineers, no taxes paid, or anything of that notion. So I certainly don't agree with the full sort of free software foundation view that there should be no jobs in this area, and that the kind of commercial advances and risk taking that we've been able to do you can't get that, you can't get things like speech recognition on a tablet computer coming out of that paradigm. You can get things that follow along, you can get some smaller software, and so we embraced the idea of the free software paradigm and the commercial software paradigm moving forward in really a self-reinforcing way.»


2. Open source, he said, creates a license "so that nobody can ever improve the software,"


3. Bill Gates: "the GPL, which we disagree with"

и т.д.
Это что касается того, что они сами говорят. Ну а того, что они не говорят или лгут, еще больше. Так что думайте сами;)
