In my opinion, the worst part about it is the degree to which they're being sneaky about what patents they hold. Almost extortionist.
I believe Linux and GNU will be in real trouble this decade, and the face of free software will change by this movement already underfoot here, as seen in Microsoft. These, and SecureBoot, won't be the last attacks either so long as the Fedoras and Ubuntus of the world bow to their demands. Best regards, Rick C.
