If you want the story as it currently stands, MS has painted itself into a corner, and presumably its partners will also suffer the fallout: Microsux Says It Is Not Bound by GPLv3: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2155119,00.asp Microsux cannot declare itself exempt from the requirements of GPLv3: http://www.fsf.org/news/microsoft_response The patent agreement is likely to cause MS and allies more heartache than profit in the foreseeable future.
