Re: [LUG] More On The Patents/M$ Agenda

[paul sutton <zen14920@xxxxxxxxx>]

How can they patent something they did not come up with in the first 
place.  Internet protocols are open,  which is why they work,  Most of 
these protocols are not even owned by Microsoft.

How much of this is FUD, or are MS going to sue, China, and other third 
world counties, risking more anti american feeling while they get 
poorer, and MS and the US get richer.  Some of this Anti american 
feeling led to 9/11.

Since when did MS make international law, ?
