If it's just Microsoft, then I'd say it's more of a "single actor" rather than some kind of "pattern". so far all the publishers you've linked to seem to also be supportive of libreware, and disliking of Microsofts behaviour. > > > > On Friday 22 May 2015, [email protected] wrote: > > will hill" easy to observe pattern of publishers missrepresenting GNU > > and the FSF by all means at their disposal" > > > > examples? > >
