YOU are a laughable sham.

Is Microsoft obligated to reveal their source code to the Chinese in order to distribute their OS? Of course not. They do it because they WANT to.

And again, you post a list of generalizations about me that you pulled out of thin air. Easier beating down straw men than dealing with facts, no doubt.

BTW, did you ever find those posts backing up the accusations you made earlier?

Microsoft only shared their source as a response to Linux. Without it, they wouldn't have shared squat.

And of course, allowing a peek under strict circumstances still in no way compares to giving them full rights to modify, duplicate, rename, resell, etc, like you allow the Cubans, Iranians etc to do with open source, who have no access to M s code.

Faking concern over MS's extremely limited sharing is ridiculous, and obviously the sham since you support giving software away completely for free.
