Putting aside the fact that I don't agree with software patents in general I still don't like what Microsoft is doing. I think that it's not right for Microsoft to force companies using linux into these licensing agreements without making it entirely clear what patents are being infringed on. If they shared this information then the infringing code could potentially be removed and replaced with code that doesn't infringe. What they're doing basically amounts to extortion in my mind.
This is my opinion but I didn't vote in your poll because the wording for "no" is too specific for me. I want to say no without simultaneously expressing an opinion on the quality of any products that Microsoft has produced.
- crizCraig 15y agoThanks, I'll take that into consideration when creating future polls. If you really felt inclined, you could create a poll option you like more. Then other people can vote on it as well. Also, thanks for your feedback. I started this site three months ago and quit my job last month to work on it full time. My apologies if things are a bit unpolished.
