Actually, I considered this article either badly researched or the
author misinformed.
They were talking about "attacking the GPL because it has a destruction
clause and then mention
> They [MS] are specifically upset about Samba, Apache and Sendmail.
Samba Yes, GPL, right
Apache Apache License, as we all know
Sendmail Basically BSD License with %/BSD/Sendmail/g applied.
so only one of the three examples is really relevant to their idea
to leverage the GPL against open source.
Once again, it shows that the ASF did a wise move in choosing another
license. :-)

"Fighting for one's political stand is an honourable action, but re-
fusing to acknowledge that there might be weaknesses in one's
position - in order to identify them so that they can be remedied -
is a large enough problem with the Open Source movement that it
deserves to be on this list of the top five problems."
