[LUG] The wrong kind of Open Source.



Apparently some MS source code has leaked

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3484545.stm

The article says the leak "could provide a competitive edge to its rivals, who would gain a much better understanding of the inner workings of Microsoft's technology." This would be a very bad thing for the Open Source community. There is a risk that MS code would be used to improve projects like WINE which would have legal consequences.

Andrew
