Em entrevista a um jornal de Chicago, o presidente da Microsoft, Steve
Ballmer, afirma que o Linux e a sua licen�a s�o um c�ncer que se propaga
em tudo o q tocam:
"Yeah. It's good competition. It will force us to be innovative. It will
force us to justify the prices and value that we deliver. And that's only
healthy. The only thing we have a problem with is when the government
funds open-source work. Government funding should be for work that is
available to everybody. Open source is not available to commercial
companies. The way the license is written, if you use any open-source
software, you have to make the rest of your software open source. If the
government wants to put something in the public domain, it should. Linux
is not in the public domain. Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an
intellectual property sense to everything it touches. That's the way that
the license works."
