Microsoft, of course. If they paid somebody for the BSD licensing, they might sue that person/party in turn for damages/non-fulfillment. But that does not change that the copyright holder can ask a court to stop Microsoft from distributing his software, and can claim damages if he can make a plausible case for them. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
