The Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) has dismissed Microsoft's patent pledge to open source developers as meaningless and warned that it could provide a false sense of security.

The SFLC provides legal services to the open source community and is funded in part by the Open Source Development Labs as well as public donations. The organization on Thursday posted an analysis of the pledge on its website.
