spinynorman Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 The [Microsoft] spokeswoman did not respond to a request for more information on how the list of Internet protocols was derived, and was unable to provide proof on its rights to these protocols. Surprise, surprise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarissi Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Looks like yet another attempt to squish Linux. The Internet (formerly DARPANET) existed before Microsoft even thought about getting involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 (edited) Actually, I wouldn't call this an attempt to squish Linux. I'll digress from what I said earlier. I suggest reading this article over at groklaw.net: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20041107154122603 PJ isn't as sensationalist as profit-driven reporters.

fangbite Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Out of curiosity, where does Microsoft get the idea they have any legal rights on TCP/IP? I thought that was an opensource network protocol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linux_learner Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Out of curiosity, where does Microsoft get the idea they have any legal rights on TCP/IP? I thought that was an opensource network protocol. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> TCP/IP is an source. it was developed by arpanet, back in the early days of UNIX, before M$ DOS. it started in 1957. thats right. 1957. long before M$. http://www.davesite.com/webstation/net-history.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
