    Microsoft and software patent enforcement, a brief lesson:

    • Bill Gates in 1998: “At some point we must consider what patents they (StarOffice née LibreOffice) violate.”

    • Chinese government reveals Microsoft’s secret list of Android-killer patents, 2014

    • Microsoft: Linux violates 235 of our patents, 2007

    • Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith discussing the 235 patents Linux allegedly violates, also 2007

    Brad Smith is the main proponent of software patent weaponization at Microsoft. He is now President of Microsoft, up from General Counsel.

    Do you get it now?????
