OkyDoke... I read the interesting paragraph and my eyes glazed over
(even more than usual after a couple of Stouts at the 6-string last
night.) What does this actually mean to the rest of us?
 It looked like MS is stating the obvious (as if any of it sounds
obvious.) You can't combine and compile MS software with Linux or other
open source stuff. What's new? How does this change anything?
 Is the idea that people wanted to use MS tools to develop wireless
applications in Linux and then distribute the source code to the world?
Why would anyone do this since you would have to license the MS tools
anyway. Why would you use MS tools on a Linux platform? I am really
clueless in this subject as you can tell.
