First it was Amazon in 2010 for their datacenters and now Microsoft is licensing technology that they own the patents when it is used in a Linux datacenter. Of course no one is disclosing what the actual patent is or what it stands for, but these companies are growing in paying Microsoft just to have the right to use them.
We all know that Apple just wants to shut you down when you violate their patents and Microsoft "plays nice" and has you pay for them. What is in Linux that Microsoft has the patent for and does it also apply to Trisquel? Will we have to pay Microsoft if Trisquel is used in a datacenter?
