That's absurd. They lost a suit to Eolas. Microsoft had several options: 1. License the technology from Eolas. 2. Continue violating the patent, and get sued for their continued violation. 3. Change the functionality to circumvent the patent. So, yes, that's their "own initiative", but to say it has nothing to do with a court ruling is, again, absurd. It's simply Microsoft's good fortune that this negatively affects Flash just like any other ActiveX control.
