Any case anyone missed this:

"SEATTLE (AP) -- Microsoft Corp. said Monday it will share technology
with Linux distributor Xandros Inc., the latest in a string of deals
meant to help the patent-protected Windows operating system work more
smoothly with open-source programs."

"Key to the agreement is a clause that protects Xandros customers from
running afoul of Microsoft's legal machine for patent infringement."

Each one of these "agreements" brings me closer and closer to seeing the
value of GPL3.
