A website asking MS to show the Linux community WHERE they believe the breaches of their IP lie so that those sections can be rewritten to avoid any suspicion of plagiarism.
It's not plagiarism that Ballmer is trumpeting this month, it's patent infringement. This isn't done by lifting code, which was what the SCO allegations were, but this is done by implementing an idea (even an idea that you had yourself, or that is common-sense, but someone else had and documented before you did) in your own code. If Microsoft tell the world what patents it thinks Linux is violating, then they will simply rewrite the infringing code, and all of a sudden Microsoft's case goes away. They don't want that. They want to continue being able to attack, so this will Never Happen (tm). An interesting idea that came out of the /. thread on this topic was that Microsoft have a finite number of patents, and it would be a doable task, spread out amongst the entire open source ecosystem, to check each patent, and see if there is a chance there is infringing code in "Linux"/OSS. Again, it all comes down to the interpretation of angry lawyers, so even that might not solve anything. Craig
