Let’s not forget the endless and aggressive Microsoft lobbying against the GPLv3.

As a side note, I could not help wondering why Microsoft (let alone Novell) attend OSBC, despite the explicit request for a boycott. What is a company that attacks Free software doing at an Open Source event? The scene is attended by the same folks which Microsoft threatens. It’s quite absurd.
