News Comment All comments on news story: Turbolinux drinks Microsoft's IP-protection kool-aid It's a reply to comment: What a joke ... by: pinniped  The eye-pee (software patent) protection racket is almost exclusive to the USA.

Oh, like LDAP perhaps? Oh no, LDAP is an open and royalty-free protocol; Microsoft must invent something inferior, obscure, and laden with eye pee.
