Dear all, We at FSFE made the following announcement this afternoon: >Free Software Foundation Europe today announces that it will support the > European Commission's antitrust investigation against Microsoft and to this > effect it has formally requested to be admitted as an interested third > party. > >The investigation began on the 16th of January when the European Commission > DG Competition reported that it had issued a statement of objections > regarding Microsoft's abuse of web standards and the tying of Internet > Explorer (IE) to the Windows Operating System product family. It is based > on a complaint submitted by Opera, a European company involved in web > browser development, which FSFE publicly supported in 2007. > >FSFE considers anti-competitive behaviour unacceptable, whether it occurs > through 'tying' products, or in circumventing standards and fair access. > FSFE will seek to support all processes that ensure competition and enable > innovation.
