Listen to what de Icaza says: "Microsoft has shot the .NET ecosystem in the foot because of the constant threat of patent infringement that they have cast on the ecosystem" He notably did NOT say: "RMS has shot the .NET ecosystem in the foot because of the fears of patent infringement that he has cast on the ecosystem." De Icaza is clearly and explicitly laying blame at Microsoft's feet.
