Via Scripting News, Eric Raymond warns against a Microsoft anti Open Source PR campaign.
A few hours ago, a friendly journalist tipped me that Craig Mundie of
Microsoft is going to make a major speech in New York tomorrow attacking
open-source software -- specifically, attacking the GNU General Public
License. This speech is probably intended to define Microsoft's party line
on open source, and to shift the terms of the debate over it to one that
Microsoft thinks it can win.
/. also mentions this, and points to a New York Times article on the Microsoft PR campaign.
