Summary: Microsoft pays Florian Müller

We could easily tell that from what Microsoft Florian has been doing and saying since last year. Now it is Google’s Matt Cutts who writes:

Florian Mueller, the patent analyst (he’s not a lawyer) who often takes anti-Google stances, just revealed that Microsoft is funding Mueller to create a new study about patents. FOSS Patents: Study on the worldwide use of FRAND-committed patents Study on the worldwide use of FRAND-committed patents. Many of my consulting projects over the last few years have related to FRAND (fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory) licensing obligations..

Well, of course. That also explains why he promoted all that he did. He is not alone. █
