I don't think the FOSS community [i]needs[/i] Microsoft anymore than the majority [i]wanting[/i] Microsoft. What I am a afriad of though is the fact that if you threaten these companies with patent violations they are going to take steps to perhaps stay out of Microsofts way. I believe, however, that threats are all these are. Microsoft will have a hard time with these overly vague claims. What I am scared of is that more companies will sign agreements with Microsoft over these claims. we will have to see how things go.
