My point was that it seems rather hypocritical to say that it's "wrong" for Microsoft to give away its software, but that it's perfectly OK for open source companies to give away their software.

Not just their software, but essentially their services, too. They undercut a free software bid by millions of dollars after their discounts.

... And they didn't win the contract. (Munich).

The low-bidder (an American company - Microsoft) gets shafted by Munich, despite the fact that it was the low bidder. And American open source proponents cheer.

And you guys wonder why I don't want to be associated with you.
