Open source proponents beware!  Microsoft marketing has entered
insidious new territory.  They are now placing moles in open source
advocacy groups such as SGVLUG and deliberately casting feudatory
software as something respectable or even desirable, and confusing
free as in beer with free as in speech.

Fortunately, an open source proponent usually has a few neurons to rub
together and can recognize this grease-ball marketing when it appears.

   The reason Bill Gates is laughing up his sleeve is that he got
   millions of people to agree to not try to understand their
   computers (that would be "reverse engineering", forbidden by the
   EULA), and then on top of that he got them to pay money for this
   vow of ignorance!
