Yea!
GPL an other licenses in the same street is about freedom and other aspects that should be important for all americans (including Bill Gates).
MS has created some nice things in the past. They cut thru with component development and now they are getting things done with XML based RPC and related technology. Thats nice because opening up and freedom do not exist in MS Dictionary v. 2002.
MS tries to lock you into a jail and if you get success in getting out of that jail (read: earn lots of money) they will try to patent your methods and once again lock you in. They got a plan for you!
In the future more and more people will start to use the good Open Source tools that are out. They will see the contrast between the Monopolist and the Open Source and winds of changes will blow around the world.
